Gunnera

The gunnera has started to come up again this year. This is a picture of it last year - if I tell you that there is a touring caravan parked behind it you can get some perspective of the size

 

Wow. I just planted some seed. No sign of germination yet, they seem slow, but I only need one don't I?:D

 

Nice looking plant fmay, dont have enough room for one myself.

 

me neither Pete,it's not fair is it.:(

 

We bought a 5 acre smallholding 20 years ago and 'borrowed' some of the land to increase the size of the garden I say borrowed because we were told that we had to have planning permission to convert it from agricultural to garden:eek: It does mean that I have an awful lot of lawn mowing to do and it's too rough for a ride-on mower.

 

John if your ever my side of the pennines call in for one,I split mine into 3 last year at present they are at present in large pots and growing well,I think it's b/man that grows his successfully in a pot to limit its size so i'm giving it a go.

 

Thanks Walnut. I may take you up on that one day but you know me, I hate being beaten by a bunch of seeds.
