I know it's early but things are sprouting and I want to take advantage of watching them. My grandpa loved to grow gladiolas when he retired. He planted a HUGE garden bed and then stood on the corner by the gas station and would sell them on Fridays or maybe Saturdays as the lake people came in for the week. He also dug them up each winter and stored them in his basement. I'm not sure why - but I found some bulbs in my garage tonight to plant too.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082337415906808358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760018118498685466.post-70244489484399827762016-03-15T16:35:33.509-04:002016-03-15T16:35:33.509-04:00What a thoughtful husband you have!

Was it undiluted Lysol?<br />P.S. this is Diane Dougherty not Joseph Dougherty.
