Hi,

I planted Gladioli bulbs on 19 March and they still have not come up – do I need to be concerned? I live in South London so clay soil? Thanks so much!

Hi,

Not strictly gardening related, but I wonder if you can put my mind at rest as I notice you have one of your own. We have just acquired two lovely kittens, and also a lovely bouquet of gladioli. Can I leave these in a vase with these two wandering around or is it like lillies – poisonous to cats?

Thanks,

Annie.

Hi
I live in SW France, and have been growing my own veg for the last for years here, I am so glad to find you blog on growing Gladioli, I plan on putting 20 in my veg patch tomorrow – It is April, and I hope I have not left it too late. My soil is heavy clay, have you any tips?
Cheers

I grew Glads for the first time last year and they are surprisingly easy! Just stick ‘em in the ground and up they come. I lost a few to glad droop, but be fast with the stick and the’ll be fine. The real pain is lifting them again when you plant loads dotted round your garden. good luck though, they are a wonderful flower (I don’t think you’ll want to cut them, as they look lovely in the garden!)

I feel exactly the same when it comes to buying flowers and have come to the same conclusion. I’m planning on trying to grow some on my plot too this year, although I’m not quite so organised as I haven’t decided what I’ll grow yet. I like gladioli too so maybe I’ll give them a go. I do have some Fresia corms to go in, and some assorted flower seeds, although have no idea if they will be good as cut flowers.
I’ll be interested to find out how you get on.

Thanks Frag – good advice. As a gladioli novice I will be testing a few in the ground over the winter and lifting a few to see which works best. Thanks for the help.
