My elephant ears looked good until halfway through Monday afternoon, and then they bit the dust.. Before

And after

Oh, poor things. But they look like they could make a come back if the weather stays nice.

Glad to hear from someone "up there"...glad to know you are ok!

wow.. those things are HUGE. bet they do make a comeback. one would think something that big couldn't be all that fragile.

yes, glad to know you're OK. Think of you all affected by Sandy.

ooooooh poor things. Sure are healthy looking, and yes, they will recover until you have a freeze, then bye bye. Do you dig the tubers and store over winter or just take your chances? I leave mine in ground and take my chances.

I see green tomatoes too.......yum...are you gonna fry them?

Yes, I will sweep off the mulch and pull back the landscape fabric.. the bulbs are 3 years old..and the summer leaves were even bigger.. Just glad that was the extent of the damage besides a piece of aluminum that came off the house. We were lucky.

So glad to hear all is well with you and yours!

Awwww, poor ears. They were beautiful.

Those *were* some beautiful plants but it could have been much, much worse. Glad for you it wasn't.

And they will be more beautiful again next year. I'll dig them up over the weekend. thanks

I was wondering if you did that. I put mine in the garage for the winter.

Winds certainly do beat up elephant ears!

Glad that you are safe!

PL, glad to see you posting too! Did you get any damage?
