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 some short ones with decent multi heads called Helios Flame. They have reddish centres.

Tallest topped out at 6ft 7 from the soil in the pot to the top



Been battered by recent rainfall and looking quite sorry for itself now so I think this pic is the best I will get :-)
