The crocus have finally popped!
And other things are starting to poke through!
I wish I could remember what I planted where last year!

Gladiolus
the_show_for_show asked:

Here is a list of seeds I have:
-Larkspur
-Lupins
-Stocks (ten weeks dwarf)
-Penstemon
-Snapdragon
-Salvia
Will these seeds survive over the winter? On most of them the expiry date is December 2008, or December 2009. How do I care for them? When do I plant most of them in the spring, should I start in doors? Which are perannuals and which are annuals? I live in Ontario, Zone 5. What else? I also have 35 gladioli bulbs. I just planted them in a pot, they probably won’t bloom this year, i just planted them because i have to take them out in october because they could die over winter outside. How do I care for these too? All these stocks are going to planted in a border, which will probably be pretty nice, and full. And one last thing, I have a perannial Aubeitia, it says I was supposed to plant it inside in April, but I can’t do it next year because the expiry date is December 2007. Should I plant them now? Will the bloom next year? Thanks!

WaggyK asked:

I know from experience that irises, hyacinths, and gladiolus do, but is it common for all bulb flowers to multiply each year?

Question about Gladiolus?

Gladiolus
Somebody asked:

I planted Gladiolus bulbs last summer and they grew pretty well– the leaves, that is. I got a big, tall, beautiful stalk of flowers on only one plant. This year I have lots of big healthy leaves again, but no buds even beginning to form. Any idea what I can do to get the flowers to grow?
