bulb question
I bought a bunch of bulbs last fall/early winter and unfortunately I ran out
of time to plant them before the weather got cold. I found the bag of bulbs last week in my garage and many of them have began to sprout inside the bag. Should I plant these, or just throw them out? Will they bloom this year, next year, or never? Thanks Brad |

bulb question
Hi Brad,
When I buy bags of bulbs from Wal-Mart, I always look for the ones that are already sprouting in the bag. I have planted several like that early this Spring, and I am getting beautiful flowers from them already...so I would suggest you go ahead and plant them in the ground now and see what happens Angie "B.

"........ I found the bag of bulbs last week in my garage and many of them

I found a bag of Gladioli outside a couple of weeks ago left from last spring, some were starting to shoot, so planted the lot(Around 70 corms), yesterday around 30 were already showing shoots above ground. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

bulb question
plant them they wil make it fine as long as they get foliage they
will charge for next year I did so with some dafidills and tulips and they bloomed on slightly shorter stalks and they still look great this year no trouble they all came up with the exception of one or two they wil just look like they bloomed late and might be a little runted or stubby and don't prune or rubber band the foliage and be sure not to let the stalks go to see dcut the flower as soon as it is spent. that way they can conserve energy to be lovely next year. good luck On Sat, 8 May 2004 21:30:43 -0400, "B.
