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 have, as always, left mine a bit too long in their original loo rolls without potting on. They’ve gone in the garden now.



I’ve also been out and sprinkled/planted about a hundred spare seeds in the bunding at the bottom of the road. I suspect the soil is too poor and dry for them to do much, but they’ve got more chance out there than in a bag in my shed!

What a good idea Fizz... so that's why everyone was panic buying loo rolls before lockdown! 😂

I had 28 inners. I was tempted at the time to post a photo complaining about how long it had taken to unwind the rolls. :-)

Garfield, bit of thirst won't hurt them at this stage but it might encourage stronger root growth. Helpful for when they get much taller :-)
