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 was excited to see that two of my Pike's Peak seeds had germinated. They're now been mown down by (I suspect) snails. Grrr!

I found some seeds in Lidl a week ago, planted them on Friday and watched my little seedlings grow...








They are a bit floppy but I'm sure they'll get some backbone soon.
The rest of the seedlings that didn't get their own pot are planted in various suitable places 😊

my sown direct ones are just starting to appear :)
The one that's doing the best is one that self-seeded under the bird table, though - is that cheating?
