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 can’t remember if I have seeds left over from last year so have bought more today. All I have to do is sow the buggers! 😂

Planted some today, some were probably a bit old but I'm sure it'll be fine :) The windowsill can support a few extra I reckon, might put some more out if these ones get eaten by snails

Also the old ones were Russian Giants but were purchased pre-Ukraine invasion, therefore they ought to count if they survive! Not that I ever got beyond 8 foot in past years

My first batch has started to grow.



Mr Ness says they're a bit etiolated and could die on me. I plan to buy some more compost next week and set up a second batch.

How are things going with everyone else's sunflower growing?
