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!

It’s the height of it lying down. So you’d best hope it’s got a thick stalk ;-)

This is my entry.



Rough estimate of 8 feet tall, but I don’t know who gets the prize, as it’s self set! And carefully protected itself from the wind :-)

It’s just starting to form, so won’t get much taller.

90cm would be 3', if only it was only 90cm

There are some amazing sunflowers near me, I suggested (jokingly) to E 7.11 we should take a picture near one of them to pretend it was ours.
