Realised the other day that I hadn't lifted my Gladiolus corms, lifted a
couple yesterday and was amazed at the very good condition they are in.I
am
wondering if they actually need to be lifted each year, except to
protect
them from the weather.
Any Comments from anyone.

I had some gladioli which flowered yearly, and I never lifted them, and
they were in a north-facing bed in a rather cool and exposed part of
Norfolk.

Then yesterday I discovered a couple of hard boiled eggs that we did for
the
journey back from Spain the other week, and I am wondering just how long
they will keep

What on earth anyone would do with a hard-boiled egg of any age or
maturity is beyond me....

Throw them at the nearest politician of whatever hue?
