    What are these? The first two are of the current garden, and the last one is before we tilled up the backyard. We removed the elephant ears before tilling the garden, but the first two plants have sprouted among our watermelons. Are these elephant ears too?

    Looks like Alocasia and/or Colocasia to me. These are both commonly called "Elephant Ears" and if there was any little chunk of rhizome left they'd regenerate.

    Perfect growing condition for it - wet, soggy, bog like.
