anyway, plans for basjoo for the winter
I think I'm going to give mine a good dose of fertilizer about now to build the corms up
plants look awesome, will post pics in a couple of days, we're getting remnants of TS Hermine right now, not bad, just wet and windy
I think fertilizer sound like a good plan, thoughts?

My elephant ears do well, and keep expanding. But I have to dig the bulbs up after they freeze. I just dry them in the garage for a while, then toss them in trash bags and leave them in a cool, dark storage room in the basement for the winter.
I didn't do anything to the soil, but I fertilize them a lot in spring and summer. They're probably 4' tall now.
