Sedum, I have found that when dealing with plants that need 'lifting' for the winter, it's easier if you group them together. Planting a few here and a few there really is a chore and I'm more likely to miss a few in the fall.
Now I group these together. Glads, Dahlias and Oxalis work fine together and I dig them all up at the same time. (Note the pic above Feb. 8, 4:29 PM).
Carol, No more Dahlias please, LOL.
I like pink, well in flowers at least. I wish I had taken a pic of these last season. I remember trying but couldn't get a good shot.
I got this shot just a few minutes ago of a few really big corms from that bunch I lifted yesterday. I rinsed them and snapped this pic. The worm was a surprise, lol
I don't remember ever having such large ones. All I did was sprinkle some 10-10-10 on them twice per season. I'll find a place for them in the cutting garden.
