Think I will divide it next spring and give it a try. Its surprising just how much greenery the turtles can get through. I can cut a 6 foot banana leaf and throw it in the pond in the morning, when I get home from work it's gone.
Aquariums and gardening.

If you want more umbrella plants rather than dividing them you can cut off a stem with the umbrella on , turn it upside down and keep it in water, when it starts to sprout stick it in a pot of soil. Can get loads of new plants every year if you wanted!
Top right is the gunnera. Some of its leaves are easily two feet long but it’s still a baby. It’s in a huge pot (24” diameter) in the pond as they like it moist but this year the pond netting we put on to stop the heron literally diving in, has restricted it somewhat.
Well spotted also with the Cordyline, we have a six foot red one in a pot that I thought we had lost last year as half the leaves drooped down. Had to cut them all off but the top two foot is still growing again. Will protect it this year.
Thanks! I will investigate that as I have never used it. Is that something one can fin at regular garden centers? Hola
I doubt that. The Sierra Nevada range would have to drop. We sit on “The Gateway to the Sierra” at 330’ above sea level now.
Do you expect the oceans to come up more than 300 feet? I didn’t think there was that much ice left. Perhaps if they somehow got smaller and deeper….
Anyhow, I expect to be on the western shore, and above the high tide mark, while just the tips of LA and Frisco would still show.
At just +30’, Sacramento will be 100% drowned. It would be already, but they added over 30 feet of landfill to the city 150 years ago and jacked the whole town up as well. It is not that stable.
Yeah, I wrote that pretty much tongue in cheek. The original Tulare Lake is no where near you, and was relatively small anyway. But the original Tulare Basin, which I believe was the original name for the San Joaquin basin, when the lake was in its pomp, is huge and almost reaches as far north as you. But, in reality, as you say, you'd have nothing worse than an ocean view.....unless San Andreas woke up!
In geography at school we studied California, right up to British Columbia, farming and industry and the like. However, my memory is shot at, I can only recall small, and very vague clippets of info. Lol.
I'll shut up now, rather than make a fool of myself in front of someone who actually lives there, lol.
When I bought this house I knew it was way above the floodplain.
Our town sits on an ancient seabed that was pushed up our of the water. I don’t know where bedrock is, but there are dozens of layers of sand and hardrpan below us.
it insulates us a lot from the coastal quakes, and the mountain quakes too.
So far…..
