You have children so you have to be practical with how everything comes together. The light floor is a hot thing and I have done it in a house where she had 5 kids.

She used area rugs with light blue and green tones. Really pretty. It will allow you to use medium tone furniture so the kids won't ruin them. However, I would not paint the ceilings until you try these other ideas You have to place them adjacent to the window wall. DONT do the solar tubes!!! It is not the style if the house! It will ruin it. The color of the woodwork is very rich and beautiful I would not go this route! Plus it is out of style.

I buy these type of houses all the time and fixing them up for resale. It is all about balance with a 3D composition. Furniture will be a big key. Here are some ideas to help out The area gets too much sun for azaleas to thrive - they prefer shady areas. Use a boxwood in front of each window for your evergreen and foundation. Be sure to plant it far enough away from the wall that it has room to reach it's mature size.

It may look sparse to begin with but you'll have a much healthier plant as it grows - and grow it will! Peonies were one of the most popular plants in a recent discussion here on Houzz, so I'd plant some peonies in front of the boxwoods to give you the blossoms you wanted.

I'd add a trellis on the brick for clematis or other vining plants to give the bed some height. Use the front of the bed for annuals that you can change out as you wish. With hours of sun I'd pick things like salvia which are sun and drought tolerant since it may get dry faster there. The salvia I've pictured here will do wonders attracting humming birds for the children to watch.

I'm glad you mentioned that you're installing lighting because that will exclude using light sensitive plants such as chrysanthemums in that bed - due to the lights the blooming cycle would get messed up and you wouldn't be happy with the results.

Garden question - bulbs Q. Depending on where and how the bulbs have been stored, they may still be viable. If your county has a Master Gardener program, they may have a helpline to answer questions like yours. Also, you might take the bulbs to a garden center near you and ask the staff. If the bulbs are not rotten, you may want to plant them in the fall of this year and enjoy them next spring. Leave all the beams Now, trying to grow glads, knowing nothing the six corms were planted on a fence that gets morning sun to mid day sun and although they were marked my husband ran the lawnmower over the lowly patch but all six grew back the next year.

This mini success has me trying again and the winters here are borderline 7 and a fail is quite expected this year. I bought 60 this time and am grateful of the heads up about their water sensitivity as my neighbor's downspout aims near the fence line and I have to be more careful where I plant again.

Hi, Harlan, This is one of the few questions that we can not answer; we can not confirm a yea or nay. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension. What a volume of information!!!

Thank you for all the info, tips, guidance and advice on your site. Thanks once again. I have one small garden dedicated to glads. I live in Zone 7 but my house is white vinyl siding and faces due south. I have never dug them out and they keep multiplying and I get many blooms every year. I have 3 colors right now. The baby ones bloom later in the summer it seems. I thought perhaps I should thin them, but with so many blooms and such good health, I hate to disturb them!

Totally fabulous , informative article. Thankyou very much. Everything I needed to know about Gladiolis!

But, you never know. I like to experiment. They are such spectacular blooms. I think I'm going to have to get more colours. I didn't lift mine, and expected them to rot, but seemingly not. It was 2 free bags of corms I had, as my mum hadn't planted them, so all in all it's been great planting experience as I expected nothing!

Viv hg. I don't pull my Glads in the fall, and this year I noticed I lot, I mean a lot, of small shoots coming up right alongside the main shoot on most of the returning ones. Not all of the one returning have these shoots. They are all planted in the same area.

It looks like they are small Glads trying to come up, if so, there are way too many of them, and can't be doing the plant any good. I don't know what they, are and if they are good or not. They are, as you surmise, baby glads, which are not necessarily glad tidings.

The bulbs create baby bulbs; had you lifted them last year you would have, or could have, knocked these off. They seldom mature to fulfill bloom expectations. My little sister's dogs ate the tops of my recently sprouted Vista gladiolus and my recently planted rose bush. Is there any chance of them re-growing in a few weeks, or are they goners? I live in Canada and we are forecast to have our first snowfall, with temperatures at well below freezing for a few days.

I still have several glads that are about to put forth flowers. Should I cut all flower stems and then dig up my bulbs despite the fact the plant has not "died off"? Thanks for any info. These are really pretty interesting in taking care of gladiolus. Thanks for sharing your insights and tips. Not Yellow! Nowhere have I ever seen the Green Glad's nor has anyone I know. My Mom's are the only ones! Is this unusual? Usually, the reason you get leaves without flowers is because 1.

Most bulbs need at least 6 to 8 hours of sun and soil that drains well. Another possible reason is that the bulbs leaves were cut too soon the previous year. Bulbs need the leaves even if the blooms are done. The leaves collect nutrients for next year. Once the leaves yellow, they may be removed.

Finally: If you have been growing these bulbs in the same area for many years, they may need to be divided. Bulbs can be dug and divided once the leaves yellow this spring. Replant soon after digging. No need to wait until fall to replant. Why can't I find a map showing the zones you are talking about? I am not sure which "zone" I live in. The zones in question are those defined by the USDA.

I received a stem of gladiolus with my Mother's Day bouquet of flowers and would like to plant it, how do I do that? Is there anything to need to do to prepare if for the dirt or do I just put it in dirt. I'm not good with flowers of any kind at all, but these are so beautiful I would like to keep it growing.

I live in the very south, my gladiolus stay in ground year round. They now have multiple small shoots around each original plant. I grow quite a few glads every year but have never planted them in July. They take about 8 or 10 weeks between planting and bloom.

It is mid-July, do you have 10 weeks left in the growing season there in your zone 4 garden? I suppose that the corms could be kept in refrigeration for 18 months but I've never done something like that. Perhaps they would have a better chance of developing a new corm if they were planted but not permitted to bloom.

I suppose that would be the case. Did the folks at the store have any advice? I'd plant them so that the bulbs don't dry rot on you. This way they will grow, replenish the bulbs and be ready for next year. You do have a shot that they will bloom before a frost. Greensage45 Deeply Rooted. Joined Mar 14, Messages 1, Reaction score 4 Points I agree, there is no place for a bulb out of the ground, I would let them spend whatever time left to the season in just producing some leaf to pull in the sun's rays and draw nutrients in for next year's big blooming.

If Glads cannot be left in the ground where you are then just treat them as you normally would at the end of the season; mulching or cold boxing them in the garage sort of thing. I bet you will be Glad you planted your Glads! I'd plant them now but not expect anything until next year. Yous guyz! Natalie gardens in zone 4. You know, average winter minimum temperature of F to F.

Indoor winter storage is almost a critical requirement.
