I believe a version of this quote belongs to Sir Winston Churchill. Towards the end of his life when he was attending one of those posh banquets that requires a noteworthy speaker, he was called upon to deliver his speech. With great difficulty, he made it to the podium. The only thing he said before retiring to his seat was something like this:...."Never, Never, Ever Give UP".....I think about him saying this when things seem to be going all wrong and one needs a swift kick in the right direction!
I planted some huge bulbs called "Elephant Ears"..I've never seen them before, but as you can see, they have really earned their name. I am not sure if I can leave the bulb in the ground over winter, or can I dig it up and save it like we do other bulbs over winter...anyone know?
I found this huge bulb at the WallMart "over the bridge" for about $2.49. This is the first time I've tried growing Elephant Ears...My neighbour lady allowed me to fill in her otherwise bare edges around her foundation at the side of her house. Everything else comes from the smorgasboard of surprises from my compost bin!
