Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Blimey, that is a big job!

A question, my autumn onion sets have flopped over. Is it most likely that they’re too dry, or could they be ready (albeit still quite small)?

Sounds excellent Hann. The dinner, not the watering. Four hours a day! Is this not a case where some technology should come in? I'd have thought you'd have some form of irrigation system given the scale your at.

Pleasing to hear of strawberries. I've just had some (shop bought) - mine are still forming up. A few bees buzzing around - saw three on one raspberry cane yesterday. And round the aquilegia and echium blue bedder.

Strawberries nowhere near ready yet, except the little Alpine strawberries which are all over the garden and which I eat as I discover them. Gratifyingly, neither the slugs nor the birds seem interested.

Is your hosepipe long enough to reach East Anglia, so we can have some of your water? ;-)

Saved an oak sapling from my allotment last night. It's only about 50cm tall, but the root must be 30cm!

I've put it into a pot, but that's only just deep enough to contain the root.

Hopefully I'll repot it into something bigger at some point and it'll survive.

Not sure I can be that bothered!

I was more thinking if I can get it through to 2-3m size, I might be able to find somewhere to plant it. Should be big enough to avoid casual destruction if I can get it to that size.

I’ve planted out my beans. Just in time for nature to water them in for me :)
