My Love Gladiolus
In frost prone areas, dig them when the leaves turn yellow, dip them in a fungicide, and store in a dry frost free location over winter.
Gladiolas are also commonly called Sword Lily or Corn Flag.
Increase water and fertility when flowers begin to develop, then plant 4" deep in clay soils, 6" deep in others; the deeper the planting the less need for staking.
Glads are easy to grow and like to be in full sun and in well drained soil.
The Gladiolus My Love, 'Gladiolus My Love', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificent pink flowers with purple stripes on tall stalks.

Plant strawberries by digging a V-shaped hole about 8 inches deep. Spread the roots out, place the roots against the side of the hole, then push soil against the roots. As the plant sends out runner, trim all but the best six runners for an abundant crop.
