Gigantic elephant ear leaves

One of the broken leaves is three feet long.  I trimmed them all back for the fall, and to let more morning light into the garden.  I believe that because they are so prolific, they will rebound next spring, if not sooner.  In the meantime my winter garden will have a little more winter light.

Elephant ears mostly trimmed out.

 And used to “mulch” the plantains/

To let more light into the garden, I cut back the elephant ears.  I placed them around the plantains and the trimmed back elephant ears as mulch.
