Elephant Ear Experiment (part 2)

The elephant ears I planted in gallon milk jugs have sprouted, well, two out of four anyway.  One was overwatered and turned to mush, the other one I'm waiting to see, while it wasn't mush, it was soft.  So I will give it some more time.  As soon as the shade garden is built, I will plant the two that have sprouted.  Remember not to overwater planted bulbs!

Shade garden in ruins

On March 29, we had a tornado storm come through, thankfully we just got rain, but we got so much rain our yard was flooded.  My shade garden, that I had just started planting was in ruins.  The soil I added was washed away, along with several plants.  It is now almost a month later, and nothing has been done.  I repotted the plants I could salvage, and they continue to sit on my deck.  I have bought landscape timbers to build raised beds, but I'm stuck until Greg can cut the sides for me.  Mother nature can be cruel.
