I live on the Alabama gulf coast and could use some help concerning my Gladioulas. On internet sites, I see that people dig their bulbs each year so not to freeze them. The ground never freezes here, barely getting any freezing temps all winter. I have left them in the ground, but I have noticed that I do not have as many plants this year as I had in the past. I originaly planted about 50 bulbs 2 years ago, now only have about 30 this year. Is digging the bulbs neccessary when the ground doe not freeze? Or am I experiancing another problem. I used quality bulbs from an online source, and they are the most beautiful colors that I have ever seen, and I really hate to lose them. I planted about 50 more this year. Can anyone with deep south gladioulas experiance advise me?
Again, thanks for the one reply last week and to all that read it this week. Happy gardening to all.
Here in Pa, my corn is finally putting out tassels, cherry tomatoes, big boys, Italian tomatoes all looking good and getting red.
Last week pulled all my bush beans, zucchini, cucumbers, all good eating.
Waiting on baby watermelons and cantaloupe planted as experiment, watermelons the size of softball will grow to 9”
cantaloupes still small.
Hope everyone is finding peace and sense of accomplishment in their gardening I know I am.
Good morning.
Judging from this morning’s weather forecast it looks like we’re finally in for at least a week’s worth of real summer here. Mid-90s with chance of thunderstorms every day.
our garden is crazy. the beans, tomato, onion, and cukes are great. the cabbage good, potato good. the corn is being decimated by a critter. i’m guessing its a raccoon. why does it want our corn when there is a whole field of the stuff just a few yard away? hubbymayhem is thinking maybe he will go rambo on the thing. that could be okay, or it could be verrry bad for the garden.
Hello to all! I have updated pics of my garden on my profile page if anyone cares to look. Can’t believe here in Western Washington we are having such a great summer, and that my garden is actually growing. I’m known more for killing plants than I am for growing them!
Went out of town on Thursday. Came back today to lots of yellow pears, 3 ripe romas, 2 other ripe large tomatos, 2 HUGE cucumbers and of course the never ending jalapenos....
Made some yummy jalapeno salsa. :-)
I have a question for everyone, my green beans have been a total failure so far. So far, only one long bean and that was weeks ago. I have several other bean plants that grew about a foot this weekend while I was away, but no beans. Lots of flowers, just no beans.
I also have several ears of corn almost ready to pick. Yum...
