Dirty Hands
I'd like this group to be made up of people who like vegetable gardens and who will discuss their successes and their failures. Also we could exchange recipes using the produce from our back yards.

Plant of the Month

RDA/GID

Frostbit Bulbs
Q: Will my gladiolus bulbs bloom even though they sat outside over a few nights of early frost?

 

Melinda: Frost damage won’t impact blooms, but it can impact the survival of the plant. If the gladiolus bulbs, really called “corms,” are firm, they should be fine.

 Gladiolus store best when cured (dried) for a week or two in a warm, dry location. Store only firm corms that are free of insect damage, disease and soft spots uncovered in a cool, dark location for winter. Label the corms so you know their color and height.
