International measurment...even in Canada

Well not in BC. I watch a lot of the CBC news both local and national
and I have never heard the weather report say tomorrow it will be 15
centigrades of celsius. They say it will be 15 and on the map it will
have the "c" next to the number.

In planting zone 5 do you really have to dig up the bulbs each

I did a Google search and found the above info but I know that
what you read is nor always "carved in stone". In fact, it
seems like eveyone used to cover their rose bushes in the
fall but now very few, if any, individuals do in our area.

Hardy gladiolus can be left in the ground.

I think we will give it a shot and just leave them in over the
winter and see what we get the following spring. Heck, at $1.97
for 30 we don't have too much to lose. :-)

Get them out in autumn if you want them to live and plant them
in spring when ground temperature is 15 centigrades of celsius.
Of course there are various sorts of gladiolus, early, mid or
late (flower), the last we plant over here about 15. july.

15 centigrades of celsius?
