Sorry Tamara...
Those :rolleyes: darn kids of mine get in the
way of my gardening
....
I had tried reading up on some info on
that stuff...*I was thinking the dirt conditions
and not rotating would be a factor with this stuff*
Gladiolus Disorder in File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat **You might have to have Adobe to
read it, if you don't and can't read it, let me
know I will find you some more info on it...**
There's a picture with it, is this similar
to what you have??
I was also thinking you might have RUST..
Also, do some experimenting next year...
If you do as many glads as you have, put them
in several different places in your property..
One that would get some more rain, some in a drier area, ect.. You may find that a different place with different conditions, will give you your results...
I have a rust in my property, and depends on the
year and amounts of rain fall really along with
temps that are higher...
One year I'll get it bad, the next year not hardly at all... because of the weather..
but different parts of my property act differently.
Also, you may try a different "mulch" on top..
and experiment with different types too, fabric's, compost, bark chips..etc....
