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!

my father in law's (not in starting list) has reached over 238cm I couldn't measure accurately due to the height to see how much taller than that it is.

mine is 196 cm

Edith's is 226cm. It is the one above Ernie, my FIL massive one us the leaning one with the big head.

6'8" and no prizes for size of the flowers. It's still my best-ever sunflower summer.

Oddly, they are all facing north-east. I thought they were meant to face the sun.

I'll measure up tomorrow, busy couple of days, mine look suspiciously like Chris's at half the size, I am still very proud of them, and gives me something to aim for in next years comp.
