Default Anyone for a dame edna moment

Hi All,

I've just been sorting through some Gladioli cormlet that I bought last year and I've got some spare when I say some I mean about 100!!

If anyone wants some PM me with their address. They probably wont flower this year as they are too small but you may get the odd one or two.

What you need to do is put them in as deep a seed tray as you can find about 1" apart in good compost. and harvest them when the tops go brown. Any that are bigger than a 20p peice you can plant out next year, any that are smaller treat them as above. If I can find the sheet that the BGS printed I'll photo copy it for you.

There are some named varieties but most are mixed (they produce the most cormlets - mr sod and his law!!!)
These aren't the big jobs they are Primulinas they only grow a couple of feet tall but look just the same. Some of the flowers are almost orchid like in colouration.

If there are no takers they'll be binned

These are Free to a good home, so don't worry about swapping anything with me.

I'll try and find some pictures & Post here for Info.
