Storing Bulbs
Question:
I have just bought some summer bulbs & am on hols for 10 days before I can plant them. What is the best way & place to store them? They are gladiolus, lilies & irises.
Answer:
If they are in plastic bags then take them out and either place in paper bags or bury them in dry sand. Store them in a cool, shady, dry place such as a cool shed or garage. They should be fine for 10 days. If they have started sprouting when you return don't worry they will still be OK.
