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!

I've been absent from the thread due to my shame at my treatment of my sunflowers. I put some seeds in a smallish pot back near the start, meaning to plant more individually ... and I never did, and only transplanted the first lot two days ago :-o

Two bigger, two smaller, and a tiddler which appeared later. They are now untangled and in slightly larger individual pots in the greenhouse. I might win "latest sunflower".

I'm declaring at 318cm. The flowers are tiny and they are starting to lean so I doubt they'll gain any more height.

Spent a couple of hours cleaning the greenhouse at the weekend. Got a load of seeds ready to go in over Easter.
