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!

Fetch's have grown over 6 feet in seven weeks. I think that the Dills' may have grown by even more.

Mine have grown around a foot. 3' 7" (flowering) and 4' 6" (in soil).

No but I bought them on the way to the market from a strange man. They only cost me two cows
