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'm really surprised because all but one of the seeds we planted now have shoots :-)

I find the weakling, bottom right, unacceptable.

Don’t dismiss the bottom right WS. I had two pots which did nothing and I had planned to put another seed in each but NGATI. I continued to water them and over a week later one has just started to sprout 🌱

He was following my lead :) I have a leftover packet so I might die some indoors as a backup. Who knows what the weather will do next?

Sow, not die. Predictive text telling me not to bother? :)

I've optimistically buried around 30 seeds from a pack labelled "Little Leo" in all purpose compost in a cardboard egg box inside a lasagne dish and put it on the windowsill. I'll try to remember to water it occasionally. "Little Dorrit" will get the same treatment when eL Bee! has eaten another eleven eggs.
