Relocating Elephant ears?
My elephant ears have just starting blooming and I am moving so I would like to relocate them to the new house. Will this work?

Relocating Elephant ears?
Yes, you shouldn't have a problem at all. The easiest way to transport them once they've uprooted them is to stick the roots (with as much of the soil you're excavating them from as possible) in a garbage bag, tie the bag around the stalk and off you go. You shouldn't have a problem with them at all, just try to plant them in the same intensity of light as they came from, if that's possible. Good luck.
Reply:The only thing you need to worry about is that you don't destroy the rootball. If you loose a lot of roots while transplanting it you will most definetly have to trim the bush nearly in half to compensate for the lack of roots suppling the plant with nutrients and moisture. Good soaking of water once transplanted add some seaweed fertilizer to help the plant with stress.
Reply:You can dig them up and move them easily. Remember, an elephant ear is a tuber, Make sure you get the tuber and as much root ball as possible and keep them moist until you can replant.
Reply:yes. if you cut them down they will come back up, or you can put it in a pot, wrap up the plant with bubble wrap and ship it to your new home
Reply:They can be transplanted/relocated relatively easily. I searched under "transplanting caladium" and this is one of the sites I found.

Reply:yes....they are easy to relocate...I simply pulled them out stuck them in the ground where I wanted them, watered them, and voila...
I am a terrible gardner...so these are definately fool proof.

A Yahoo search for "elephant ear plants" (include the quotation marks in the search box) yields 9,080 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I'm sure that you will quickly find the information you seek including pictures of flowering plants. Since they are trpoical plants, they do not hav enough time to grow to the point where they bloom in climates north of the south Florida area.
Good luck with your search.

Can elephant ears be cut up like potatoes to propigate?
Oh yes, they certainly can and I believe it can be done at any time. I watched a large potted elephant ear get smashed by a truck. The poor bulbs were destroyed with chunks everywhere. What happened? Lots of those little torn bits started growing.
I have only ever done the method on a black magic bulb because I was down to two (Apparently, they do not overwinter in the ground very well in my area) so I decided to see if I could speed up the process and start several more before spring kicked in full mode. Every cut piece grew and I was able to have a big showing of black magic during that summer.
Some elephant ears have runners and they spread like crazy so you needn't use that method on them. It's the clumpers (Clumpers grow bulbs next to each other instead of spreading it out with runners, hence they clump) that tend to be a bit slow.
Can elephant ears be cut up like potatoes to propigate?
yes, but you have do it while the elephant is asleep.
Reply:Thank you for asking this question, I heard it before but did not know if it would work. I had many plants in Florida, but we moved and now I have only a few. I really miss the all, but the elephant ear was just getting started. I miss my flower and herb garden.
Reply:You could, but you run a high risk for rot. My colocasias and xanthosomas multiplied so much this year I don't know what to do with all of them.
Reply:yes, as long as you get at least one eyelett per slice and let the slices dry before you plant them.. They grow a little slower at first, but catch up fast..
Reply:Why would you want to is right. 11.5 ft of salt water for 3 weeks in my neighborhood b/c of the levee breaks in New Orleans. And the elephant ears came back in force. I dug up about 3 30 gallon bags full for a friend, and there were even more than that.

Does anyone know how to care for elephant ears?
While i agree with most of the info posted so far I wanted to add a few things.
They love water. They can actually grow in a bucket of water. Peple drop them into ponds with just a basket to hold them down, so dont worry about overwatering them. The big problem is that they do require quite a bit of water, should bewatered a few times a week.
And while you can cut them back and dig up the bulb in the winter, you can also transplant them into a pot in early fall. This gives them a chance to recover. you can them bring it indoors for the winter. While it will have very limited growth indoors and will die if left in too long, they are more than capable of surviving 4-5 months indoors without any sunlight. This lets you have a biger plant the next year as it does not have to start over.
If you live in a warm climate where the temp does not fall below 50 (at night) during the winter, you can keep them outdoors year round. This includes places like southern florida and California.
Does anyone know how to care for elephant ears?
these are very easy to grow and take care of
elephant ears will grow in sun or shade, and they love sunshine, heat, and high humidity
be careful, they can be poisonous to children and pets
plant early in spring with rich fertilizer and keep moist all season long, dig up bulbs in fall for storage
Reply:Really big Q-Tips. ;)
Reply:With a really big Q-Tip, silly
Reply:Depending where you live, they have to be dug up before the first frost of the season, and kept in a dark cool place, like in a bucket. During the year fertilize once a season.
Reply:elephant ears are very easy to take care of. In fact, I have several. Some are located in full sun, partial sun and even shade. I've actually cut the primary stem on a few and they grow back quite rapidly. It does not require much care. In fact, just water regularly and let it grow.
Reply:Lot's of baby oil and daily mud baths.
Reply:If you are talking about the plants you water them well daily, trim back in the fall after the leaves start dying then cover with seveal inches of much for the winter.
Reply:Don't you just eat them? Coated with powdered sugar? Maybe a little drizzle of chocolate syrup?
Reply:lol to the big ear answers, but a shady spot and LOTS of water is what they like, mulch over them in the winter.
Reply:Sorry---couldn't resist-----wash them with a warm rag and do NOT use Qtips in them. :)
Reply:well, 1st you need a REALLY large q-tip...sorry. you'll probably hear that way too much... lots of water. in fact they do well right in standing water, like a pond

Is this true that this tv programma called a man got elephant ears?
Well, it is tue that there was a television programme about a man whose face, unfortunately for him, was so grossly deformed that he was referred to as the elephant man. It was a very insightful view about how that person had to deal with revulsion shown towards him on account of a face which was his misfortune to have. It is a very old show now, 15 or 20 years old if not more.
Reply:The 'Elephant Man' was born in victorian times, when his mother was pregnant with him she witnessed a man being crushed under foot by an elephant at a circus, and she was convinced that is why her son became disfigured in her womb.
It was a sad account of his life, he had one 'perfect' arm and his head was so heavy, that's how he died eventually because the weight of his head broke his neck during his sleep he must have moved into an unsafe position.
You should try to find the film, it's an old black and white film if my memory is as good as an elephants...

When is the best time to plant elephant ears in the ground?
Plant in the fall, then in the spring you'll see a little trunk poking out of the ground, and by the time fall comes around again you'll have a full-grown elephant! sorry, couldn't help it...
When is the best time to plant elephant ears in the ground?
Once the temperatures stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. That is what I do, but I live in Wisconsin.

Elephant Ears mixed in my Grass?
is a simple way besides pulling up the bulb (cause theres like a million in my lower half of yard) in getting rid of them. would buying the weed control lawn tratment work at all?
Elephant Ears mixed in my Grass?
I'd leave them where they are. They must be happy there since they are blooming. If they are coming up in a small area, you could just build a flowerbed around them.
If you must move them, wait until fall, and dig up the bulbs. Transplant in another area. They will come back up next spring.
Reply:Weed control will do nothing - Take a shovel a remove them, including roots and bulb...if you keep the bulb it will come back...Sorry that is all you can do.

How do i over-winter elephant ears?

How do i over-winter elephant ears?
You should at least bring them into the house. Which is what I did.
I don't want to give you the wrong advice, (so don't follow my example) , but I just want to relate this story, which happened to me.
We received one as a gift and planted it in a shady spot about 3 yrs ago. I don't think it ever sprouted that season, so I sort of forgot about it.
The bulb (which in zone 5 is supposed to come inside for the winter), was sitting in the ground for one winter.
I was breaking spring ground to plant new stuff and I came across the bulb. I wasn't sure if it survived the winter, but I cleaned it up and I buried it in a planter, just to see what would happen.
We brought it in for the winter, where it grew and grew. Some of the original leaves yellowed out, but I was brave and cut them off as low as I could.
I was like you, not really knowing what to do.
I won't pretend to say that cutting of yellow leaves from the soil base was attractive (it was not a pretty site), but the plant did thrive once the deed was done. New shoots popped out over time. This was under a pretty brightly lighted and sunny winter location within doors however.
I think if your in a winter zone you should dig it up the bulb with roots, cut off all foliage, and store it in a cool dry spot.
Others should advise you on maintaining the plant indoors.
Looking forward to reading advice on leaf cuttings.

Reply:I guess that would depend on where you live and the climate you live in.
I live in the south west and have elephant ears in my garden. They die back when it begins turning cold and all I do to them is cover them up real good with hay or some other mulch. In the spring they pop right back out again with no problems.
If you live in the northern or colder climates where you get snow and ice, I would recommend getting them dug out of the ground and placed in a cool dry place until spring, like you would do with any other bulb.
Hope this helps you out.

What do you have to do to protect elephant ears for the winter in AR?
by them ear muffs for x-mas. sorry, i couldn't help myself. really, you just need to mulch them well. U of A Master Gardeners can tell you more details. This web sight can put you in touch with your local group.

The best thing would be to dig them up. Let them dry good then store in a paper bag with peat moss. In a coolish area.I store mine in the cellar Then replant at the proper planting time in your area.
Reply:Here in ohio we have to pull them up and bring them in for the winter and replant them in the spring..make sure you cut it down to the bulb..
Reply:Really not sure because I do not have experience in AR, but what I have suggested as a Landscape Committee Chairperson to the homowners when they have problems protecting outside plants, is somewhat simple and a cheaper re-useable fix. We are as far North Texas as one can get, and we do get cold weather. Plus I lived in NJ more than 25 years. Measure the plant height, and x's by 4 to get the length in feet. At a Lawn and Garden Center, inside the store, go into the plumbing department. Buy very cheap PVC pipe (it is white in color - 1/4 to 1/2 inch is all you should need). Also buy mulch. Then go to a material store to purchase any good sturdy thick material that will fit side ways around the plant (be sure to check the discount table first). All material on the bolt is 45" wide when opened. At home, cut the pipe to the height plus an extra two feet long. The pipe can be cut using a small hand saw. Place one end of each pipe into the ground so that it is straight up and down, sunk into the ground more than 1 foot deep, a minimum of 6 inches from the base of each corner of the actual plant. When all 4 corners are done, put a layer (a lot) of newspaper down around the base extending outward (use something to anchor for a few minutes - like rocks) then wet with a garden hose. Spread the mulch down on top of the newspaper, removing the anchors as you go. Make sure this layer of mulch is thick but not too tight into the center of the base of the plant as this can cause reduced air allowing other problems to start. Wet the mulch then, and each week as it dries out. As winter nears, keep adding new mulch as needed as the first layer will compact. Also save empty plastic milk bottles that have been washed out and store till needed. Before the cold comes, wrap the material around the poles, leaving the top open for sun and air. The Elephant Ears leaves should not be allowed to touch the material, so make sure the poles were placed far enough out. If you hear that a cold freeze is coming and temps are dropping, you can add an additional layer around the material using plastic sheeting (used shower curtains in a pinch) and be sure to cover the top of the pole creating a ceiling or roof. When extra heat is needed, dig out the milk bottles and fill with hot water from the tap and put lids on, and then place under the side wall around the base of the plant, to keep the air inside warmer. The bottles should only be placed just before night, then removed the next morning, and the top may need to also be removed for proper air to circulate and sun to shine in to warm things up again.
Reply:Don't know about AR but my brother in N. TX cuts them back in the fall, mulches them %26amp; waits for them to reappear in the spring.
You can also dig up the bulbs in late fall, dry them off %26amp; store them in a frost free area. Replant after it warms up.

Reply:Knit a very large hat!
Reply:Put a few inches of mulch over the ground after first frost, which should kill the top of the plant. Cut it off just about ground level, then apply the mulch. You may/may not have success, but I have one that comes back year after year, though its twin didn't the second year. I live in OK, so we have similar zones. Farther north, they need to be dug and wintered over inside.

Elephant ears- how many types are there? Do they have to be in the shade?
There are over a dozen types of elephant ears that i know of.
And no they dont need to be in the shade, in fact some of them prefer the sun - like the black magic elephant ear which will only darken in direct sunlight.
Here are some links about elephant ears

Why are the African elephants ears bigger than the Asian elephant?
I have a theory that it is hotter and dryer in Africa than in Asia and as the ears are cooling agents, that may be the answer but it is just a theory
Why are the African elephants ears bigger than the Asian elephant?
It is a theory based on Bergman's Rule. This is that surface to volume ratio of the body impacts the rate the body loses heat. Area increases by the square while volume increases at a cubic rate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergmann's_...
The thermal balance in an animal's core is influenced by:
heat produced by metabolism,
heat stored,
heat flow to skin (affected by the thickness and conductivity of fat, fur, hair, feathers, and scales),
heat flow to the ground
heat lost by evaporation.
Elephants keep an internal temperature just as a mouse does. However they have very little outer surface to a great deal of volume. The volume is generating metabolic heat. When they need to release excess heat they can seek shade, divert their blood flow to the surface of their skin or sweat for evaporative cooling.
Mice have lots of surface to shed heat from compared to their little volumes. Elephant;s generate more heat, to much heat to be released only through skin and sweat. Worse elephants don't sweat.
http://www.upali.ch/skin_en.html
So they are left with increasing their surface area in order to dump the heat just like car radiators have, with convections fins.
Look to mammoths with hairy coats and small ears as a better comparison than Aisan elephants. Mammoths lived in a cold climate so needed to retain heat not shed it.
Look at foxes ears and fur coats. Desert foxes have huge ears and thin fur coats. Arctic foxes have ears almost lost in their thick fur coats.
Elephants use their ears for more than heat dissipation so there could be other factors selecting even larger size than thermoregulation requires.
Reply:"African elephants have larger ears than Indian, or Asiatic, elephants because they live in hotter conditions and are bigger and more aggressive and active. The huge ears of the African elephant, sometimes three and a half feet wide, enable it to hear more acutely. When the animal charges its fans out its ears, augmenting its terrible appearance and striking fear into the heart of any enemy.
The ears also present a large surface for losing body-heat. African elephants, who are at a disadvantage in the heat because of their large size, wave their ears to keep cool and to chase away flies. The African elephant is the biggest and noblest of land animals, reaching a height of 11 feet and a weight of nearly six tons."
Reply:because Noddy wouldn't pay the ransom?
Reply:Sounds good to me - there must be some genetic reason.
Reply:African elephants have larger ears than Indian elephants because the African elephants live under conditions with higher temperatures than its Indian cousin. The African elephant uses this adaptation to cool itself off by using them as fans and to release heat through the blood vessels close to the surface. As breezes blow across the ears' surface, it cools the blood vessels. The African elephant developed its large ears for this two-fold benefit.
Reply:Yes you are correct! Biologists have little or no doubt of that!

Elephants keep an internal temperature just as a mouse does. However they have very little outer surface to a great deal of volume. The volume is generating metabolic heat. When they need to release excess heat they can seek shade, divert their blood flow to the surface of their skin or sweat for evaporative cooling.
Mice have lots of surface to shed heat from compared to their little volumes. Elephant;s generate more heat, to much heat to be released only through skin and sweat. Worse elephants don't sweat.
http://www.upali.ch/skin_en.html
So they are left with increasing their surface area in order to dump the heat just like car radiators have, with convections fins.
Look to mammoths with hairy coats and small ears as a better comparison than Aisan elephants. Mammoths lived in a cold climate so needed to retain heat not shed it.
Look at foxes ears and fur coats. Desert foxes have huge ears and thin fur coats. Arctic foxes have ears almost lost in their thick fur coats.
Elephants use their ears for more than heat dissipation so there could be other factors selecting even larger size than thermoregulation requires.
Reply:"African elephants have larger ears than Indian, or Asiatic, elephants because they live in hotter conditions and are bigger and more aggressive and active. The huge ears of the African elephant, sometimes three and a half feet wide, enable it to hear more acutely. When the animal charges its fans out its ears, augmenting its terrible appearance and striking fear into the heart of any enemy.
The ears also present a large surface for losing body-heat. African elephants, who are at a disadvantage in the heat because of their large size, wave their ears to keep cool and to chase away flies. The African elephant is the biggest and noblest of land animals, reaching a height of 11 feet and a weight of nearly six tons."
Reply:because Noddy wouldn't pay the ransom?
Reply:Sounds good to me - there must be some genetic reason.
Reply:African elephants have larger ears than Indian elephants because the African elephants live under conditions with higher temperatures than its Indian cousin. The African elephant uses this adaptation to cool itself off by using them as fans and to release heat through the blood vessels close to the surface. As breezes blow across the ears' surface, it cools the blood vessels. The African elephant developed its large ears for this two-fold benefit.
Reply:Yes you are correct! Biologists have little or no doubt of that!

Info about Elephant Ear plant?
Elephant Ears are grown from tuberous bulbs. After the plants have died back in the fall, dig up bulbs. Clean and store them in a cool, dark area until planting the following spring.
In southern areas, they can remain in the ground over winter. Add a heavy layer of mulch to protect the bulbs from freezing.
--------------------------------------...
How to Grow Elephant Ears:
Plant bulbs in the spring. Find a sunny location, as these plants like hot sun and humidity. Elephant ears prefer a rich, organic soil. They are moisture lovers, but the soil needs to drain well.
Note: Plants an be invasive. You may want to install a border edging 3"-6" deep into the soil around the plants.
Plant bulbs in early spring. Mix in plenty of compost and organic matter. Apply a nitrogen rich fertilizer once a month for optimum growth. Keep soil moist all season long.
Mulch around plants heavily every year to help retain water, and to replenish organic matter.
In the fall, dig up the bulbs for storage. The bulbs will survive overwintering outdoors only in the warmest areas of the country.
--------------------------------------...
Insects and Disease:
Occasional problems with burrowing insects can occur. Use insecticides or organic repellents as needed.

How would you care for a plant called elephant ears?
Plant the rhizome and watch it grow ... and grow ... and grow. I water daily and once in a while give it a shot of miracle grow. Large leaves are spectacular and offer a lot of privacy. Trim back the dead and dying leaves, you will know them when you see them. One work of caution, If you plant these in an open area, the wind can shred the leaves. Plant on the leeward side of a privacy fence or other windbreak to lessen the chances of the prevailing winds damaging your plants. The rhizomes will overwinter in the ground if they do not freeze. They need to be dug up and divided every couple of years. You will soon be giving them to all of your friends and neighbors.
How would you care for a plant called elephant ears?
elephant ears are usually referring to a colocasia which some grow around ponds because they require very moist soils and they also need alot of sun-it is a bit more difficult indoors as they need alot of direct sun and heat. if it gets cool they start slowing down and making smaller leaves-you then can leave the soil go completely dry and store the tubers like you would dahlias,cannas,callas etc. mine do much better if i grow them in full sun in summer and keep an inch or two of water always in the tray-the leaves get huge.
Reply:Depends upon where you are. I live in Alabama and I just let them die out and they come back. Further north you would have to dig up the bulbs and protect them for the winter, then replant in spring.
Reply:elephant ears are an interesting plant that takes medium to low light and should be kept moderatly moist, however, not wet. you should watch for dying leaves and trim them off periodically. thats about it. for more info search yahoo

Should Tony Stewart smack Elephant Ears Busch in the face before the race tomorrow night?
Maybe it will keep idiot Kurt out of the wall.
Should Tony Stewart smack Elephant Ears Busch in the face before the race tomorrow night?
Well he did punch him in the hauler when they were called in last night after the incident...
Reply:How about everyone smack him around. Maybe that will give Kurt a message.
Reply:no
Reply:Someone here said they should let them go out behind the trailer and settle it . which is true .IF this really happened you would see a big difference on the track .Then they would know the consequence of a certain action. then things would settle down.
Reply:Yeah! Excitement!
Reply:No Nascar should smack Kurt Busch with a HUGE fine, as well as suspend him from the next race. And tell him to grow up!!
Reply:I think they are both idiots. That was practice a neither one was giving any room which is stupid in PRACTICE! For Busch to do what he did after the wreck really shows what kind of driver and person he is. Not much of one.
Reply:No, because it will not be long until Smoke does the same thing to someone.
Reply:Kurt should be parked for at least the first 2 races.
Reply:How many agree with boys will be boys, racing is racing, bumping is racing. Nascar should leave them alone and let them work it out, preferably out back behind the trailers. You gotta love the rivalry, takes those of us who're old enough to remember back to the days when racing was racing. Much like Football, before rule changes watered downed that sport.
Reply:I do my best to understand both sides of the story and to give everyone a break. Kurt has had too many breaks. He is a hothead without power or skill. If Tony Stewart smacked him it would end the little pip squeaks Carree, which maybe should be done for the safety of the other drivers.
Reply:Elephant Ears Busch???
What are you, 6? maybe 7? Grow Up!
Reply:Uh that's one way of putting it! LMAO!!
Reply:Just as long as they keep it clean on the race track, hey let them fight it out before the season starts, if they take it out on each other on the track then they take other drivers with them..So Smoke and Kurt, lets have a fight out and get it out of your system...Nascar big wigs get out of this let the drivers settle this...Heck with fines %26amp; the other crap, let them settle it like they did back in the day...bring it on boys..have a fight raise some money for charity...I bet they'll be okay afterwards or like they do today, let them dual it out over a poker game. shake hands and lets go racing..boogity boogity..
Reply:I think NASCAR should suspend Busch for the Daytona 500. Maybe then he would think before putting other people in harms way.
Reply:Why is everyone make Busch look bad, Tony has a record for doing this all the time! Good that someone finally had the balls to get him back!!!!
Reply:if I was Tony I would use that as a setup. Let Kurt think he's running faster than you and use that to your advantage. Let Kurt take the space and lose control of his car and take himself out of the race, or maybe someone else. Tony doesn't have to share track space with Kurt. It's not that difficult, it's just a learning process. Obviously Kurt will be running hard all season and if the other drivers pick up on that they can use that to their advantage. Kurt Busch can only be letting himself down by running too aggressive. It comes down to wisdom not hurt feelings.
Reply:i kind of agree with crow...im not a fan of either but...its no need to be blocking in practice...and to tell you the truth i think tony went high and let d.a. wreck himself....i dont believe he should get suspended or anything like that..but if nascar wanted to let justice be justice...then they should knock kurt 50 points from the start....or even a 100....starting the 500 in the hole....i think its a good idea....
Reply:yeah he should, they have had too many problems the last few years..tony needs to show him who's boss.
Reply:Yes, but he should sell tickets first %26amp; give the money to charity!!!!
Reply:If he won't I will
Reply:Stewart is a pseudo tough guy who has talent but a lot to learn about the sport. He is trying to emulate Dale Sr. with his intimidation tactics and the new breed of driver like Kurt Busch isn't intimidated.
Stewart needs to concentrate on winning and back off the antics he has been using over the last couple seasons.
Reply:oh poor ,tony whiner again, don't touch me but it's ok if I smash into you, or did you people forget what an **** he was and has been since he came to nascar Busch should of crashed into more than he did!!!

Don't you just love those "Elephant Ears" they sell at the county fairs? Do you have an easy recipe for them?
Easy ( and I mean EASY) Elephant Ears
1 package flour tortillas (The shelf kind works better than the ones
that are in the refrigerator case.)
Sugar/Cinnamon Mixture for coating.
Oil
Heat oil (1/4 to 1/2 inch deep) in fry pan.
Put 1 tortilla in for about 5-10 seconds. Turn with tongs and do the
other side. After it is turned it will "puff" up.
Remove from pan with tongs and put in a container with the
cinnamon/sugar mixture--put the lid on the container %26amp; shake to "coat" the ear with the mixture.

When would be the best time to put My Elephant Ears back in the ground? I live in zone 7.?
I removed them from the ground after frost killed them back, seperateed them, and stored them over winter in leaves and mulch, they haven't frozen, but I want them planted again at the right time. I know to wait until all risk of frost is gone, but when exactly. I live in North Alabama. Answers olease?
When would be the best time to put My Elephant Ears back in the ground? I live in zone 7.?
Why don't you plant them in a lg. pot indoors, then when the ground warms up plant outside. the reward to this method is they are well on their way %26amp; lg. earlier.
I live in zone 4 1/2 so I plant them in lg. pots %26amp; bring them in for the winter. they're really attractive in any rm. %26amp; the added bonus is they don't require SUNNY windows so they will grow in any room with a window!! Good-Luck, from a Master Gardener~
Reply:Not until the ground has warmed up quite a bit, and doesn't cool off too much at night. I would say not before June. I have set them out after frost, but while it was still too cool and they rotted in the ground.

Reply:Elephant Ears (Funnel Cakes)
3 large eggs
2 1/4 C. milk
1/2 t. pure lemon extract
4 C. flour
1 C. light brown sugar
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
Oil for frying
Cinnamon powdered sugar for dusting
Preheat the oil to 375 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and lemon. Whisk well. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until smooth.
Hold your finger over the funnel opening, fill with 3/4 cup of the filling. Place your hand over the oil and carefully remove your finger. Scribble and crisscross the filling into the hot oil.
Fry until golden on both sides. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with cinnamon sugar mix. Repeat the process until all of the batter is used.
Deep-Fried Twinkies Ingredients
For Twinkies:
• 6 Twinkies
• Popsicle sticks
• 4 cups vegetable oil
• Flour for dusting
For batter:
•1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon oil
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
Twinkie Directions
1. Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or overnight.
2. Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees.
Batter Directions
1. Mix together milk, vinegar and oil. 2. In another bowl, blend flour, baking powder and salt. 3. Whisk wet ingredients into dry and continue mixing until smooth. 4. Refrigerate while oil heats. 5. Push stick into Twinkie lengthwise, leaving about 2 inches to use as a handle, dust with flour and dip into the batter. 6. Rotate Twinkie until batter covers entire cake. 7. Place carefully in hot oil. The Twinkie will float, so hold it under with a utensil to ensure even browning. 8. It should turn golden in 3 to 4 minutes. 9. Depending on the size of your deep fryer, you might be able to fry only one at a time, two at the most. 10. Remove Twinkie to paper towel and let drain. Remove stick and allow Twinkie to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
Makes 6.

Insert a wooden craft stick through the slit, halfway into each slice. Place the slices on the baking sheet, cover, and freeze overnight.
Melt the chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and spoon over the cheesecake slices, coating completely and allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the saucepan.
Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle 1 tablespoon nuts over the top of each and return to the baking sheet; freeze for 1 hour, or until the chocolate and cheesecake are frozen

Fair Food Memories
Everyone in my family has something different they love about the fair. My kids all love the rides, and the animals on display. This year there was a big debate on whether they should try to pet the llamas. Do they bite? Their cages are pretty open if they do. Do they spit? Maybe. Will I get in trouble? Possibly. Finally, one reaches out a tentative hand, and I don’t know if my child is more scared or I am. Maybe it was the llama, because it ran to the other side of the pen, scaring us, and that put an end to our curiosity about the llamas.
My husband likes to look at the unusual things being sold by vendors. We’re typically intrigued by “magical” cleaning supplies that will “cut your work in half”. Meanwhile, it’s always a huge decision when we reach those booths that are doing prize drawings. Is it worth relentless sales calls to possibly win a 2 night stay in Las Vegas? No. Are those calls worth it for the chance at 2 off road vehicles? Yes.
I love the art. We all find the collections interesting, and for some reason, I love looking at the semi dry, week old food that people have entered for a chance at a ribbon.
But by far, the best reason to go to the fair is the food you can actually buy. By and large, the definition of fair food generally includes the word “fried”. This is the best and the worst part of the fair for me. It’s the best because the food is delicious. It’s the worst because you just can’t eat everything, and you are faced with a big decision. We often share items, so we can try more.
We started our food journey with my son getting a corn dog. I wasn’t sure he should “waste” his stomach space on something so typical, but after tasting his, I had to admit it was better than the average corn dog. Next stop, Sioux burgers! You can’t leave the AV Fair without getting one. It’s the only place I’ve ever seen them, and I resolved to figure out how to make them at home. Our next stand was selling deep fried, battered potato slices, which reportedly have quite a following in Australia. They were heavenly with malt vinegar, and sea salt. My kids were begging for funnel cakes, but I have long been making these at home for special breakfasts, and such, and knowing how cheap and easy they are to make, couldn’t bring myself to buy them. Last stop, my son wanted a taco. They don’t seem that unusual, so why do they taste so good?
As we left, I thought about all the people of the Antelope Valley, and wondered what they would do when a sudden craving for funnel cakes and Sioux burgers hit, and there was no fair to go to. It’s only right that people should be able to make these things on their own. So here you go…my recipes for my favorite fair foods.
A Plus Fair Corn Dogs
1 qt. oil for deep frying
1 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. yellow cornmeal
1/4 c. white sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt 2 T. bacon drippings
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 c. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 lbs. hot dogs (I prefer all beef)
wooden sticks
Directions
1 Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
2 In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal,
sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center, and
pour in the egg, buttermilk, and baking soda. Mix until
everything is smooth and well blended.
3 Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels so that the
batter will stick. Insert wooden sticks into the ends. Dip
the hot dogs in the batter one at a time, shaking off the
excess. Deep fry a few at a time in the hot oil until they are
as brown as you like them. Drain on paper towels or serve
on paper plates.

Funnel Cakes
3 eggs
2 c. milk
1/4 c. white sugar 3 2/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
Directions
1 In a medium bowl, mix salt, baking powder, and half of
the flour. Set aside.
2 In a large bowl, cream eggs, sugar and milk. Add flour
mixture and beat until smooth. Continue to add remaining
flour, but use only enough to achieve desired consistency.
Batter will be thin enough to run through a funnel.
3 In an eight inch skillet, heat the oil to 375 degrees F
(190 degrees C).
4 Put batter into an empty, cleaned, squeeze-type syrup bottle.
This is much easier than using a funnel. Squirt batter into
hot oil in a circular pattern, overlapping, and squiggling to
make it stay in one piece. Fry until golden brown, then
carefully turn with tongs and a spatula. Continue cooking
until other side is browned. Drain on paper towels, and
sprinkle with powdered sugar.
My Version of Sioux Burgers
Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
Meat filling:
1 ½ pounds ground beef (best if you can get the butcher to grind it twice)
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 cup chopped, pre-baked potatoes
1 small can diced green chiles
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
Oil or vegetable shortening for frying
4 cups oil for frying (or as needed depending on the size of your pan)
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk, and mix until the dough comes together. Add more flour if necessary to be able to handle the dough. On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, at least 5 minutes. Let the dough rest while you prepare the filling.
In large frying pan, brown the ground beef with the onion, and green chiles breaking up the ground beef as much as possible. Add salt and pepper. Stir in chopped potatoes.
Heat oil in a large, deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Oil should be about 1 1/2 inches deep. Divide dough into 10 pieces, and roll into disks, about 1/8 inch thickness.
Place about ¼ cup of filling on center of each dough round. Fold dough in half over filling, and crimp edges to seal.
Fry Sioux burgers, about 5 minutes per side, or until well browned.
Serve with salsa.
Reply:Funnel Cakes
2 cups milk
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) melted butter
Powdered sugar, for topping
Combine milk, egg, vanilla in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar and gradually add to wet ingredients. Beat with a mixer until a smooth batter forms. Fold in melted butter. Pour batter into a funnel or squeeze bottle while using your index finger to stop the flow of the batter. Bring the funnel over the hot oil and release your finger to start a stream of batter while moving the funnel in a circular motion to create spiral-like shapes. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Elephant Ears:
1 stick butter, melted
2 cups peanut butter
1 box confectioners' sugar (1 pound)
3 1/2 cups Rice Krispie's
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cake paraffin wax
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and peanut butter. Mix until smooth. Add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, and mix until smooth. Add the Rice Krispies and mix well. Form the mixture into balls about the size of a quarter. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate, chocolate chips and wax, stirring occasionally. Using a toothpick, dip each ball in the chocolate mixture, coating the ball completely. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm. Remove and store in airtight containers.
Authentic Philly Cheesesteaks

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the milk. Combine the milk mixture with the flour mixture, stirring just until well blended.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add enough oil to come 1/3 of the way up the sides of the pan, or about 1 1/2 inches deep. Heat oil to 360 degrees F. Dip cookies in batter and carefully place in hot oil. Fry until batter is golden, about 2 minutes. Turn cookies and fry for 1 more minute. Remove and place cookies on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

1 pound hot dogs, about 10,
wooden skewers
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and chili powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs with milk and the 1/4 cup of oil. Stir egg and milk mixture into dry ingredients and whisk together until batter is smooth. Heat oil in the deep fryer to 360°. Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into each hot dog, to make a "handle" for the hot dogs. Holding the stick or skewer, dip each hot dog into batter, turning to coat thoroughly and evenly. Fry corn dogs in 2 or 3 batches, for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels or heavy brown paper.
Candied Apples:
2 cups light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cinnamon red hot candies
8 medium red apples on popsicle sticks
chopped peanuts (optional)
Put nuts in shallow dish. Line baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. In heavy saucepan, combine syrup, sugar and red hots. Bring to boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Cover and cook for 3 minutes to allow steam to melt sugar. Uncover and cook without stirring until soft-crack stage (270 to 290 degrees F. on candy thermometer). Cool 2 mintues then dip apples into mixture to coat. Roll in nuts. Place on prepared baking sheet to harden.
Cheesecake on a Stick:
1 (8-inch) cheesecake
1 (12 ounce) package milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1/2 cup chopped nuts of your choice or brittle chips
8 Popsicle sticks
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Cut cheesecake into 8 equal wedges. Make a 1/4-inch horizontal slit in the center back of the crust of each slice of cheesecake with the tip of a knife. Insert a wooden craft stick through the slit, halfway into each slice. Place the slices on the baking sheet, cover, and freeze overnight.
Melt the chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and spoon over the cheesecake slices, coating completely and allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the saucepan. Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle 1 tablespoon nuts over the top of each and return to the baking sheet; freeze for 1 hour, or until the chocolate and cheesecake are frozen.
Deep-fried Twinkies:
4 twinkies
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon malt vinegar

1-1/2 cup water
Chill Twinkies. Completely combine other ingredients. Dip Twinkies in batter and fry in hot oil in deep fryer. Only cook until golden brown about 1 or 1-1/2 minutes.
Deep-fried Mars bar:
1 Mars bar or Milky Way bar
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup cornflour
1 pinch baking soda
milk or beer
oil (for deep frying)
Chill the chocolate bar by keeping it in the fridge, but don't freeze it.
Mix the flours and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) together.
Add milk (traditional) or beer (which gives a lighter result) until you get a batter with the consistency of thin cream.
Heat the oil until a small piece of bread will brown in a few seconds, but don't allow to smoke.
Remove wrapper from chilled chocolate bar.
Coat completely in batter.
Carefully lower into hot oil and fry until golden brown.
Serve, with ice cream or french fries, if you're so inclined.
Fried Ice Cream:
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 cup crushed frosted cornflakes
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes, or 1 cup chopped walnuts, or 1 cup cookie crumbs
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
Vegetable oil, for frying
Hot chocolate sauce, optional
Whipped cream, optional
With an ice cream scoop, form 4 large balls of ice cream. Place on a waxed paper lined sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
In a bowl, combine the cornflake crumbs with either the coconut, walnuts or cookie crumbs (or any combination). Spread the mixture in a shallow dish.
Dip the ice cream balls in the crumb mixture and freeze for 30 minutes.
In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar. Dip the coated ice cream balls into the eggs, then roll in the crumb mixture, coating completely. Freeze for 1 hour. (If necessary, or for a thicker crust, roll again in eggs and crumbs until the balls are completely coated.)
Heat the oil in a large pot or fryer to 400 degrees F. One at a time, lower the balls into the oil and fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the oil and place in a dessert bowl. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and whipped cream, as desired. Repeat with the remaining ice cream.
Hope that helps you out on most of the fair food. Its all I could brainstorm :)

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon malt vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cup water
Chill Twinkies. Completely combine other ingredients. Dip Twinkies in batter and fry in hot oil in deep fryer. Only cook until golden brown about 1 or 1-1/2 minutes.
Deep-fried Mars bar:
1 Mars bar or Milky Way bar
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup cornflour
1 pinch baking soda
milk or beer
oil (for deep frying)
Chill the chocolate bar by keeping it in the fridge, but don't freeze it.
Mix the flours and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) together.
Add milk (traditional) or beer (which gives a lighter result) until you get a batter with the consistency of thin cream.
Heat the oil until a small piece of bread will brown in a few seconds, but don't allow to smoke.
Remove wrapper from chilled chocolate bar.
Coat completely in batter.
Carefully lower into hot oil and fry until golden brown.
Serve, with ice cream or french fries, if you're so inclined.
Fried Ice Cream:
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 cup crushed frosted cornflakes
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes, or 1 cup chopped walnuts, or 1 cup cookie crumbs
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
Vegetable oil, for frying
Hot chocolate sauce, optional
Whipped cream, optional
With an ice cream scoop, form 4 large balls of ice cream. Place on a waxed paper lined sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
In a bowl, combine the cornflake crumbs with either the coconut, walnuts or cookie crumbs (or any combination). Spread the mixture in a shallow dish.
Dip the ice cream balls in the crumb mixture and freeze for 30 minutes.
In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar. Dip the coated ice cream balls into the eggs, then roll in the crumb mixture, coating completely. Freeze for 1 hour. (If necessary, or for a thicker crust, roll again in eggs and crumbs until the balls are completely coated.)
Heat the oil in a large pot or fryer to 400 degrees F. One at a time, lower the balls into the oil and fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the oil and place in a dessert bowl. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and whipped cream, as desired. Repeat with the remaining ice cream.
Hope that helps you out on most of the fair food. Its all I could brainstorm :)
What can I do with my elephant ears that have grown only a few inches all summer?
I have them in potting soil and have moved them inside cause of the heat. I give them Miracle grow once every 1-2 weeks. They started from the root but just haven't taken off as expected. I keep the soil moist. The leaves come up but don't really open up. I live in Missouri.

You are doing all the right things except you kept it indoors. Elephant ears actually like it hot, sunny, and humid but light intensity is key. 80+ degrees F is just fine for them as long as the soil is kept moist. In Missouri, you would have to keep them in partial shade during the months of June through August. Preferable spot is the North-East side. Humidity of about 50-80%. These plants are relatively slow growers.
Indoors, supplemental lighting is definitely a must unless you have a bright south window. More information for you on the links below.

Reply:The heat you have been having in missiori lately has been excessive. If they were outside for any lenght of time the last two weeks the roots may have been heat damaged. Its going to take some babing to get them going again. just keep going the way you are; don't over water or the root, which may have been damaged, will rot. good luck and watch out for those missiouri chiggers!!
Reply:How long have you had these plants? After a couple of years, they get smaller and smaller in pots. We just buy new ones when they start doing this.
They need a little sun in the mornings and shade the rest of the day.
We have some that are growing 100% in tree shade. They are about two feet tall and will not get bigger in this area.
Don't be afraid to throw away plants and start over.
It's getting too late to plant outside, but maybe you can keep your e.e. has a houseplant. Give it indirect bright light.

How do I kill Elephant Ears?
Parts of my yard are taken over...It's getting crazy..I dig them up, they come back. Any solutions? Or is this something I am going to have to deal with and mow over?
How do I kill Elephant Ears?
You can't unless you dig up the entire root, blulb and all.. If you leave even a piece of root in the ground it will regrow.
So unless you have a lot of time on your hands, just keep mowing.
Reply:spray the base with round up and then dig up by roots and spray the hole
Reply:You lift up their flaps and then yell really loud into the ear. (I just needed the points.)
Reply:have to get the whole root system when you dig, go out a foot or more, and as deep as you find tendrils
Reply:Mow them over or use herbicides.
Reply:Dig the bulb out.
Or, get ORTHO brush and weed killer and try that. That might just work, but you need to get to the bulb.
Reply:Roundup.
Reply:put a sign in your yard FREE ELEPHANT EARS and let them dig em up i wish i had your problem
Reply:Spray them with Round-up.
Reply:The digging up part is about the only thing that I found works, you just have to make sure to get all the little bulblets.Risky suggestion .. try total vegetation killer and reseed the lawn after 4 weeks?! Try not to water the area ,also
Reply:i just planted some elephant ear bulbs...now im scared should i dig them up while i still can?

Which way is up? I have an elephant ear bulb and can't tell which way is up. HELP!?
The blunt end of an elephant ear goes down. But even if you get it in upside down, don't worry too much, because the plant will grow properly! Here, go to this site to see a picture: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im...
Happy Gardening!

the flattest base is the bulb... the pointy end is the top
Reply:The pointed end of a bulb is always up. The flat side has some roots if you look closely.
Reply:plant it with the tube up, might be a nipple kind of thing on one end, thats up

Elephant Ear Plant?
It's very healthy, though it seems to have outgrown its 6" pot. Now it's putting out bunches of brown "feelers." What do I do with that? Are they looking for more soil to grow in?
Should I plant it outside? I'm in N Texas and we have freezes regularly and snow 2-3 times a winter.

Elephant Ear Plant?
Elephant ears are extremely invasive! Be careful where you plant it. Those brown "feelers" are runners, and will shoot up a new ear every foot or so. Freezes will not kill them beneath the ground. They will come back in the spring...twice as thick. If you decide to try to get rid of them, don't chop them down....they clone themselves and root where they lay!
Reply:I'm from Temple texas..and we had tons of them..The plant will die off but the bulbs will not..and in fact they need cold to lay dormant for awhile to grow properly...They will be fine..let it snow let it snow!!
Reply:You should plant it outside or just separate the plant into 2 pots since its getting so big.
Reply:they are a type of "Hosta" plant
it has overdrown its pot
plant it outside, it may wither in cold weather, but will come bach with the warmer days
i am in New York and have alot of them, planted outside
they are very resilient and hard to kill
Reply:If you take your elephant ear outside it willl die to the ground each winter, but will not die. In the spring they will come up as strong as ever. Only take outside if temps dont go below 5 degrees in the winter. You shouldnt plant outside until the last frost is gone so it can root all summer. Until the spring you should repot it.
Reply:Elephant Ears are a frost-tender Perennial The top anchor roots spread out quite a ways from the plant, if it has the capacity--this is to stabilize the tall stems and heavy leaves that it will be supporting. It also uses these same roots to gather nutrients and in some cases, to reproduce via pups from cormels. Other roots grow deeper into the soil also help anchor the plant, but the top roots near the surface of the soil grow faster than the deep roots do to give the plant its anchored grounding system to overcome any windy or inclement weather circumstances. Most nurseries advise digging up the bulb and storing it in the fall if you live in a cold climate. I live in zone 7, in the mountains; I brought my bulbs (in a pot) from zone 14--and every single one of my bulbs froze, due to freezing temps and the fact that the snow stayed on the ground a couple weeks.
Reply:Put it in a bigger pot, they are tropical plant so it will die in the cold. I have 2 in my garden they are massive. But do you know that all parts of the Elephant ear plant are Deadly poisonous? so be careful and where gloves - do not get the sap on your skin
Reply:It will not survive the Texas winters, if the bulb freezes it will kill it.

No miracle grow needed. Just leave them outside and watch them grow thru the years. I have some and they have now turned into huge plants ,nothing applied to them not even special water treatment.Let nature take her turn. Mine were also small and in three years have grown huge and awesome . Water only if you have extremely dry conditions and make sure your soil is suitable. Enjoy:{O
Reply:. You asked this same Q twice?
It must be pretty important !! not.

How to find out the exact species: bright yellow green "elephant hosta" as per my neighbor?
My boyfriend works alot, and before I moved in, my neighbor would care for this large and once well-loved plant.
I'm no gardener, but I also didn't know that she used to care for it!
It's leaves are badly eaten up and turning brown, so she doesn't know how to repair the damage.
Looking up images of elephant ears, colcasia, and alocasia (many species!) hasn't given me a perfect match, so whom do I turn to to find out the species, whether it's hosta or a bulb plant that we can dig up, etc.?
How to find out the exact species: bright yellow green "elephant hosta" as per my neighbor?
Sum and Substance is a popular hosta sold in many places including Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Meijers...just to name a few.
If it is Sum and Substance though, that particular hosta is slug resistant and thus it should not be getting too much difficulty from those little pests.
Your suggestion that it may be sun damage though could be causing what is called "meltout" in hosta. It makes the leaves look like they've been eaten and turning brown.
Typically though, meltout affects white-centered hosta that have been receiving direct sunlight for several weeks. The center of the leaves lighten, dry out and turn brown and then fall out by mid to late summer.
If this is what is occurring, cut back the affected foliage and move the plant(s) to a shadier, more protected site.
If this is not what is occurring, it may be foliar nematodes. These are microscopic worms that feed on leaf tissue. Sadly the best way to take care of these pests is to destroy any infected plants.
*~ Good luck ~*
Reply:Google it. You will find out the exact name when Google gives you a site to go to. It sounds like a Hosta tho.
Reply:could it be Hosta 'Sum and Substance'?.... one of my faves...

Reply:Wait until next year to panic, it's just going dormant for winter. In the spring I would give it a little fertilizer, it should be a darker green. One word on Sum and Substance, its my slugs favorite salad green. RScott
