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.

"A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them."

Frustrated with Tech

I feel so frustrated right now, I get into a rhythm with my YouTube videos or other social media accounts, like my Medium account and it never fails---something holds me back with posting or writing. Either I can't upload a picture/video or my phone isn't allowing me to free up space, for some odd reason.....seriously, sometimes Tech really sucks! 

Looks like I'll be spending the rest of my weekend trying to figure out my tech issues---I really have something to share and I don't want to get off of my routine, last year I was trying to build a following and then.....Poof....I ghosted the small number of viewers I had! 

Well----I'm determined to do things differently this time to continue to build a community, make money while doing/sharing things I love.
