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!

Wow - they are super tall

Mine won’t win any height prizes but they are pretty. The fence next to them is 5 ft. My dahlias are taller!

My best one is tall but not a match for Sharkie's. Unlike last year this one seems to have decent seeds in it.

Those photos were from a few days ago and that one has really passed its best now I’m afraid Purps but I’ve taken a few photos of the best today and will upload them to the gallery now. Hopefully there is something you can use.

Cool, well done people!
I gave up on mine, was too busy out having fun to pot them on after the first lot got decimated by snails. Next year I’ll have to use slug pellets

My best about six feet tall, not yet flowering . . .

I do have 12 feet tall hollyhocks and a 10 foot Scottish thistle though :-)
