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!

In preparation for the monthly photo update on Thursday, I measured some of mine today. My two tallest are roughly equal at 52 inches (4'4).

However, I would like to try and get a ringer past the judge, I have a foxglove that it is 75 inches (6'3) tall, I can barely reach the top to measure it! (Photos sometime when it stops raining).

Posting photos, this could be interesting I have yet to master this skill. It looks like I need to talk to the youngest daughter before her return to Uni for another course to add to the CV .

Yep, Thursday for photos, bigleggy :-) (I'm still going to get my foxglove in somehow)

Go to the gallery, Marmite, and click 'upload a photo', it's fairly straightforward :-)

Thanks I will try with child on hand, I am a serious technophobe in spite of the family spending much time over the last few years attempting to teach me such simple tasks such as attachments to emails a task I have yet to master. I will master photos though😊

Right, another month has gone by, time to submit your photo updates :-)

My tallest is currently 57 inches (4'9)



I would also like to submit another for the judge's attention - my United Nations foxglove (with 2 foot tall sunflower in the foreground :-))

I'm going to refer the foxglove to our appointed referee - and ask for its disqaulification on the grounds that :-

a) It's not a sunflower
b) It's not a sunflower
and
C) It's not a sunflower :-)

Besides - that'll be well dead by Septembers judgement day lol

Will post mine later. Well done Fizz - lovin the Sunflowers :-)
