Glad Tidings
Gladiolus
These are new to the garden as I have never tried to grow them before.
They are the gift that keeps on giving to SuperHotSexyGF.
She adores Glads & I adore her, so it's not hard to do that gardening math!
Here's a long shot of the bed they call home across the front right hand side of the house.
I planted 85 bulk bulbs & this is what the batch turned out. Next season I will hand pick colors to place in between these once I know what I have now.

Gladiolas are always such a joy. I think it is around late July or so, here, that they reach their peak and are always sold by the bundles at the farmer's market. I have my grandmother's old Gladiola vase, which separates the stalks, making them stand like a fan.
When I plant them next to a wall, they always tend to fall over, though. Same with Hollyhocks, so I have to plant them mid garden. You have such a green thumb and hopefully, your Gladiolas will fare better!

Glads are a lot of work all though I always plant some. Just before they bloom I put a stalk of bamboo and those garbage bag ties. That in itself was a lot of work but then they stood up and looked pretty. I have a lot of stuff that needs stacking. Judi
How are you? Judi
