Gladiola plants

This weekend, we did a lot of work in the Garden. We'd hired a gardener to cut the hedge, remove the unwanted plants & trees that were growing near the kitchen garden. After he left, we cleaned the 3 patches along with the kitchen garden. It was more than 2 days work. As it's been raining & sunny since the last few days, the lawn seems to be growing at a rate twice it's normal speed. So mowing usually takes lot of time.

Getting back to Gladiola plants, it's been around 3 weeks now, since the first sword shape leaves made their way out from the corms. Below is a photo of one row. We planted around 50 corms in two different patches. Awaiting the first blooms late in Spring or early Summer.
