Not always!

Gawd, I just can't drink Scotch. IMO, it's awful. But a difference of opinion
is what makes the world go round, and makes horse races so much fun : )

Hey, how much frost can glads stand? Mine are within days of blooming and
we're starting to have hard frost at night. We covered the glads last night
with a visqueen tent, which the wind ripped off. The plants are a little wilty
today (not bad), but I'm wondering if they'll make it to bloom. My SO (a
homegrown Alaskan) has never seen a gladiola in bloom. (He also thinks apples
come from the grocery store, so I planted a couple of trees.)
