Elephant Ears Stage a Comeback

After the hard freeze 2 weeks ago the pond area has looked so sad without the Elephant Ears. But they aren't quite done yet, the past 2 weeks have been relatively warm and the Elephant Ears are pushing out new leaves. The leaves are starting to open and some of them look pretty good. Today we'll bring the plants that can't survive the winter into the house or greenhouse. This year it seems the trees had a extra quantity of leaves. It seems to me I have raked more leaves this year than in years past. The ponds are overflowing with Oak, Maple and Elm leaves so today I'll spend some time picking out as many as I can.
