My local Lidl has a rack of seeds again.

Packets are 29p or 49p


bargain
Although a friend last year bought some squash seeds from lidl last
year. The seeds germinated well and i got a few plants. The plants
grew well and flowered BUT the flowers seemed to open for only a very
brief period of the day and none of them became fertilised. I do not
lack buzzy insects because my courgettes (whose flowers similarly were
only open for a short time early in the day) all fruited well. I found
out later that my friend got no squash harvest from her plants either.

could that have something to do with the quality of the seed???
