Oh so Minty
The oldest daughter and I spent a little bit of time in the garden today, she harvested all of this mint while I did some filming over in the raised bed area.
Whenever I see this much mint or any amount of mint, my mind instantly goes to tea. Tea is amazing anytime of the year, but there's something about iced tea in the summer, and that's the first thing to be made with some of this batch.

Need Advice on Elephant Ears
Went outside briefly to dig up two small elephant ears to transplant in another part of my yard, unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the full plant because the greenery broke off from the bulb or tubers? Which one is it? Tuber or bulb? I really want to say it's a tuber, but I honestly don't know. I've never grown Elephant Ears, from seed/tuber/bulb before. However, I know how to keep them alive and how to get them a pretty decent size....well that's what I've been told.
Since my plans didn't workout, the stems and leaves went to the compost and the bulbs went into a bucket of water. I'm going to clean the bulbs and transplant them in the other area of the yard where I eventually want to have sunflowers and a few artichoke plants all planted together.
The design look I'm going for is something funky and colorful. Landscaping isn't my thing but, I'm up for a challenge. Not really expecting anything really bold and beautiful this year. I seriously, hopes this works out, but if it doesn't, I've learned something new along the way.
Please leave me any comments down below with any advice about transplanting elephant ears.
