Hey Laura. The foxglove colour is dreamy!!! I can never imagine planting elephant ears (taro) coz for us they grow everywhere, like literally! Wherever there's constant water, these would thrive.

I think you will love your elephant ears! They waggle so gently in the breeze & are very easy "children" All they want is that moisture--they won't mind the heat! Pile them with mulch & they should make it through the winter. They may look like a rotten mess in the spring, but don't dig them!! I've made that mistake so often! They sprout & feed from that.

@ltnewsome 4 года назад

Mely Terry mealy bugs ? In case you don’t know , Mealy bugs are cottony like bugs that appear to be spots until closer inspection. They are often found in the leaf joints and undersides of leaves. Insecticidal soap, or a Dawn/water combo mixed with alcohol will usually kill them. You have to be persistent. They spread easily and may require several rounds of treatment. I had a bad case a few years back. Some of the plants were so overwhelmed I threw them away. My other guess is powdery Mildew. There are plenty of DIY treatments on RU-vid for it. Good luck 🍀.

I know you're "teasing" Laura. I think she doesn't need to in this case because her soil is so rich those roots will want to reach out. Plus, they're considered annuals (bulbs can be dug up in fall).

Gorgeous spot...I could see sitting right in front of that area. How peaceful.

It looks so beautiful! I especially love your fountain. How do you keep algae out of it? I feel like I’m constantly scrubbing my little fountain.

Love your strategy of learning about Elephant ears - in the landscape both shade and part sun and then in containers. The best part is we all get to learn with you! Thank you Laura and Aaron for what you do - it is a blessing to so many of us.

I have planted elephant ears and they get very big and shady and they spread, so if you don't want anything to die, don't plant it too close. I've had mine about 3 years now and more produce every year. They are very hearty in VA. I always heard you have to dig them up and plant them in pots and store them. I just cut them level to the ground in the late fall and cover them with a little dirt and they come right back in late May - mid June. They grow fast, so satisfying! Mine grow in a corner of the house in filtered light and shade and standing water when it rains. It that helps anyone. I've always wanted to plant petunias like that but I always buy them in the hanging baskets and just leave them there. That bed is so pretty. I love the colors together. I'm determine I'm going to start a new bed i've wanted for 6 years now.

Laura, Your foxglove peach and light lavender looks beautiful. I'm an 'old' interior designer which thinks I should have been a garden designer! I just don't have the energy it takes anymore. The shed looks good with nothing on the right side it cause's the eye to look at the flowers more. The simplicity of the fountain is also perfect. Then the blueish /lavender petunia's with the foxgloves is perfect.They compliment each other! Just Lovely my friend! My favorite so far !!

Hi Laura! That garden area is so pretty! Love the pineapple fountain, too! I hope the elephant ears do well for you. They are really pretty and adds a different texture that, so far, you don't have anywhere else. I'm anxious to see their progress. As always, it was great seeing Aaron and Benjamin, too. Thank you so much for sharing!

Nice job on the fountain! You go girl! Laura Congratulations on your Delphiniums they grew so fast and looked so luscious! The light color on them is so pretty even if they turned out a different color. Excited! Can’t wait to see the growth the Elephant ears will put in a month or two. I just love everything you do in your garden🤗. And I have mentioned this before but Benjamin is just the cutest!

I appreciate that you show the problems that you deal with, and how you solve them. I also liked that you told us how long it took you to do the project. I am surprised you have so much luck planting in the heat. I live in AZ, and find that my plants even struggle when I plant in the Spring and they have to deal with our 100 degree temps with in a few months. I can see a significant difference when I plant in the Fall, and the plants have time to get established before the heat hits... I wouldn't dare planting in our summers. Do you think you have so much success planting in the heat because of the amendments you use? Possibly they help the plants get established faster to deal with the heat?

To straighten out a leaning cement piece. Dig a hole, as deep as a cinder block plus 4 inches. Put sand of 4 inches into hole and cinderblock over it. Level cinder block. Can put stepping stone over that. Put cement peace over it.Mine have been straight for years. No more straightening it up each spring. Works great.
