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!

Ours are in the soil and still below the surface, which is probably a good thing with this cold wind. (Cauliflower seedlings are ready to plant out, but I'm waiting for warmer weather, hopefully next week?)

Sunflowers, just now. Tallest are about 18". Front two in their permanent pots, same pots as last year. From the roots of the previous ones, they should have plenty of space. Although they were starting to get pot-bound - another eight to move.

Fetch, might be an idea to tie some of yours to sticks for support? I did tgat ror some of mine which were wayward, and they've straightened up fine.
