GoodMorning everybody,

Last week all my Gladioli went bad...Mouldy and brown. Was it just a bad bunch or am I doing something wrong

... Just got in another 70 this morning and dont want them to go to waste....

Thanks

Pia

I got some beauties in last week, dark purple and they were O.K., still standing. I didn't do anything special with them, so it could be a bad lot.
Ask your supplier for a refund, he may have had other complaints as well.
Why pay out hard earned money for something you can't sell!! sOMETIMES THE SUPPLIERS TRY IT ON AS THEY CAN'T BE BOTHERED RETURNING THE GOODS THEMSELVES.

I can remember reading somewhere that in the old, old days before Adam was a boy, the estate gardeners would cut the gladioli and lay them in the cellar for a week or 2 until they where needed in the 'big house'

I used to keep them dry in the cooler for over a week and they still opened fine.

If they arrive mouldy they must be really, really old!!!
