Hi Old Gardener,
Finally had a chance to dig up some of the gladiolus and there are bulbils attached. We dug up ones that had bloomed and faded and though they had bulbils they looked fine. We will remove the bulbils and replant them. Another question; we dug up some that had smaller leaves that were in an area of the garden that had no glads that bloomed and they were bulbils. Does that mean that at one time there were mother bulbs planted there and they died and left the bulbils? The reason I ask is that they appeared in rather odd place in the raised bed area for instance in the middle of one of the walkways.
We will dig up everything in the two raised beds to determine if there are dead mother bulbs with bulbils attached.
Paden sends his best to Ed.
Thanks for your help with this.
Jacqui
