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!

Nice, that's a nice neutral name so we don't need a new thread for each year! WS, yes, that's the one re blue poppies.

So far so good, nothing weird.

I'll source seeds tomorrow.

I have a plan.

Another plan.

Different from the last 2 years worth of plans.

Anyone would think that you were a bit competetive WS.

Do sunflowers like acid soil? I grew a couple next to an enormous camelia last year.

It's also just occurred to me that I could probably put my blueberry bushes straight into the soil (currently, they live in pots). I had a soil tester somewhere.

I tried them with some acid house last year, they didn't seem to mind.
