        Reminds me of my old avatar piccie of me next to a gunnera at Heligan. They get HUGE so no way could I house (or garden) one!

        Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

        Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                I've got a gunnera growing in an old tin bath so no need to have a huge garden. By the way does anyone know if they can be divided and when should I do it?

                  We dug up ours last year, chopped it in 4 and planted them. All 4 grew nicely year so this worked for us, but I don't know if this is the correct method.

                    I would like to share with you that in my wild youth I lived on a Cornish farm and Ma had planted Gunnera in the entrance to the yard. It was huge and very impressive but coming home drunk one night I fell in it and suffered for days, not(just) with a hangover but with huge and very painful weals all over my body!
                    So, be warned, put it somewhere where it can't be fallen into!! Or stay sober.
