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'm out as I've let mine die in the greenhouse before potting on or planting out. I don't think I had the enthusiasm as I'll be away at a crucial time when they won't be watered and Sod's Law says there'll be a heatwave here when I'm not.

Tallest one is 2ft3. Some of the weeds growing between the sunflowers are (were) even taller though.
