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!

Took mine out yesterday as they were very much past their prime. Discovered a skinny self seeded one from last year which is about 4’ at the moment. Left it in, hopefully didn’t disrupt its roots too much.

I might be rubbish at growing sunflowers, but my first attempt at tomatoes has gone quite well :-)
