Subj: Gladiolas (and cannas)

HS>>I guess it would depend on how thick, or overcrowded they got.
HS>Hm.  Any ideas what "overcrowded" looks like?  We just got this
HS>house a year and a half ago;  it's 26 yrs old. The cannas get
HS>about 6 ft tall; I'd sure hate to lose them by improper care.
HS>I have NO idea how often they need to be divided, and judging
HS>from the condition of the house, they've been neglected.  :(
As long as they are healthy, and your plot look pleasing to the eye. I
would assume everything is ok. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Subj: Gladiolas

DD>MH>Can anyone tell me how to get my gladiolas to stand upright?
DD>I would love to get the answer to that one myself.
Hello Doris,
I think there is an answer to this problem. At the moment we don't have
it. <smile>
Some of my glads grow erect, some are growing parallel to the ground
when they first emerge from the ground. I don't know if this a PH
balance thingy, or lack of, or too much fertilizer? I do believe that if
we keep talking about it, and trying different ideas. We solve the
problem.

     Since the SEEDSWAP echo has been removed from the

Edwards, co-mod, have the desire to try to revitalize it.  No one has
come forth who would like to moderate the echo, as requested a
month ago.  Therefore, SEEDSWAP is pulled from the EchoList.  I
urge anyone interested in the subject matter to use the parent echo

 MH> Can anyone tell me how to get my gladiolas to stand upright?
     I have problems with them, too.  I used a stake and string to
     help them stay upright.  I had planted them right next to the
     house thinking that they house would act as a stabilizer to
     keep them from leaning over.  It didn't work, sorry to say.

     Hi John,
    I have manuals on the Motorolas and the GEs. Are the GE's Exec
I or Exec II. Exec Is were made with both a tube PA and a solid
state PA. Exec II is solid state with a wideband PA.
    Exactly what info do you need? Freq mods or duplexing them? Or
both?

Melvin and Doris,
 DD>MH>Can anyone tell me how to get my gladiolas to stand upright?
 
Understand that I know zilch about plants, ok?  BUT, I thought, what
if you took the plastic rings that are on 6-packs of cokes, and put
the stems through them when they are young, and move them up as they
get larger?
Just a stab in the dark!  :)  I love glads, don't have any...
take care,
Wanda
