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, I really need to start earlier next year, mine are still only a couple of feet, no flowers yet so there is still hope!

Mine are stunted this year...for me a win will be keeping them alive! Some look as if they are going to flower shortly!

Actually there are three in there. I figured they could battle it out between them. The first one put outside (to the right) is the smallest (possibly having taken more of the slugs).

That's amazing Nightjar!

I took a photo of mine about 10 days ago but forgot to post it, they are all in flower so I am out, the packet description said giant sunflowers with giant heads, teensy heads and the tallest is about 6 foot!
