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!

Mine are still alive after their long neglect though were looking thirsty. I probably should feed them something?

Love it that people are really getting into this :-)

Tomato feed once a week WS - it'll be higher than the garden wall before you know it

I still haven't re-potted mine yet and still can't decide where to put them. :( I thought I'd lost them again the other day, but a good drink made them stand up again over night. :)

AR - mine are against a fence , get sun in the morning but it shades over in the afternoon.

My theory is it will encourage the sunflower to grow taller than the fence to chase the sun :-) Worked last year, got an 8 footer :-)

Mine is currently winning a battle against something that is eating the leaves. It is growing faster than the things can eat it. It won't win any prizes but it is above the cane now
