In spite of living with this one, I still managed to now get all 425 strawberry plants planted, another row of Swiss Chard, 3 elephant ears and five more pounds of seed potatoes in the ground.
You're supposed to have at least two eyes on each cut piece, but I hedge my bets, one eye only, giving me potentially twice as many plants, twice the eventual produce haul due to having such friable, rich soil, in that everything germinates, sprouts and become productive.
My bigger concern should be about the $5,000 set of braces not covered by Medicaid.

ok - what on earth are you planting elephant ears for? I saw the giant bulbs for sale at the hardware store but I know of no earthly reason to grow them (and the bulbs were $50 each).
I LOVE elephant ears, they make a bold tropical statement, they grow huge and make my heart smile. I paid $19.99 for three at a garden center.
heh. I thought maybe they were edible. :)
With me, nearly everything is edible, but not these. I just posted an old photo of some. Check it out. http://thebodiebunch.blogspot.com/2005/08/elephant-ears-rk.html
