Were they too crowded?
Gladiolus are not reliably hardy here.So, the plan is that they are lifted, stored in a frost-free location, and then replanted in the spring.Gladiolus have fallen out of favor, and the large amount of work involved is certainly part of the reason.When I was a child, everyone and their brother grew gladiolus, and now almost no one does.Plus, you can buy the very best quality gladiolus cut flowers dirt cheap at the local farmers markets, so why grow your own?The reason I do it is for the journey.As in, its the journey, not the destination.
