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!

Only just spotted this - I'm going all out with various sunflowers this year. They all seem to germinate within 5 days or so. I'm going mini, dwarf, coloured and also black, and once again trying a few russian giants (which I failed miserably with last year..)

Welcome MH.

May I suggest you 'go Guerilla' with the dwarf ones as may not win the 'biggest' section.

It seems all mine have now germinated, when I say all I have about a 66% success rate, even those outside, I think the secret is putting them in a sunny position. Amazing, who would have thought of that.

Today I will sow more for the guerilla action.

Now that mine have all germinated the big issue is to not let them get eaten......
