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!

Mine are looking very happy on a sunny wall in their pots, I was going to plant one in the south facing front garden but everything there has gone so much I don’t think there’s space.

I gave them some general fertiliser pellets, tomato food is for fruit and flowers isn’t it?

Thinking of putting them up against the south facing wall at the back of the garden...the space where the shrub popped it's clogs over the winter....
