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!

Have sowed and have plants growing - one for each of grand kids to grow and a couple for my garden :-)

I'll get another look at mine on Thurs. The boy has some at his mums house (from the same batch of seeds) that have come up, so I'm optimistic that we'll see more than earth on our next inspection :-)

We've had 2 out of 6 germinate so I swapped. 2 seeds for 2 new ones, hopefully this will help E 6.7's chances.

I'll check mine when I get home. On Saturday, they hadn't sprouted yet.

6 of my 12 seeds sprouted. I'll wait until they get a bit bigger before I pot them on...as I planted them in a germinator.

Same ratio as me Garfield. 2 out of 4.

I’ll probably pop a couple more seeds into the pots that haven’t produced.

I have germination, about 50% so far. I’m going to sow some seeds directly into the ground this week, from last year’s leftovers and also saved from the seed heads.
