Thanks for visiting the Freshcutky organic gardening channel. In the garden, I will answer some of the most common "gardening for beginners" type questions I get, including growing flowers from seed. Growing greens, growing flowers, and planting beautiful organic food is something I'm really passionate about. Thank you for joining me as I learn to grow flowers, cut flowers, vegetables, and much more. Freshcutky youtube channel and related media are for entertainment purposes only.
Many ornamental flowers and cut flowers are TOXIC. ALWAYS do your own research and take responsibility for the plants that you introduce around your kids, pets, and everyone else. Use common sense when handling plant materials: wear gloves, always wash hands, avoid contact with face, etc. NEVER consume any plant which has not been positively identified with complete certainty to be safe and edible. Before planting anything, research to determine whether specific flowers are considered invasive where you live or if there are laws that apply to their planting in your area.

What is "@freshcutky"?
@freshcutky documents the pursuit of my goal of one day owning my own cut flower farm. Along the way, you'll see random projects, cooking, and of course - growing stuff. I'm not an expert, and would never claim to be. There's always more to learn - this is my journey. The purpose of my blog, and other social media accounts (including KZbin) is to share ideas. I do my best to offer information that is useful, but reliance on that information is strictly at your own risk and NOT a substitute for professional advice of any kind.

I’ve grown loads this year, absolutely love glads!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I can’t understand why people don’t love them!???

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Me too! Thanks for watching!

[@outtosea602]

Im also in ky. I bought glad bulbs to plant this year and brought them home to show my mom. The first thing she said was " why did you buy funeral flowers?" I was so sad :( I think theyre beautiful

[@nickles4652]

I used to not really care for Gladiolus, but have come around. I have 80 planted this year and my very first stalk is just about bloom. I can't wait! 😍

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

That's so exciting!! Thanks for watching!

[@BrittanyS143]

I have 1 that bloomed late because I planted it first week of August and it's soo crispy white soo eye catching!! I have to stake them alot. I get my bulbs at doller general 6 bulbs for 2$ and they work great as if they came from a catalog. There 60 cents for 6 now 70% off and I grabbed 3 boxes!! They will sit till next summer and be just as good!! Same with my seeds there 8cents now and they will be just if not better when I plant them!! FYI when I store them in my car from Sept to Oct they grow extra buds on them so now I have idk 20 more🤣🤣. That purple one is one of the colors I have alot of. The sky is the limit when it comes to flowers! I love your channel very informative!!

Beautiful. 🥰 I have a white one with red throat. Haven't planted many I have to come up with staking; rain storms have knocked em over.

Yes, I also learned that lesson this year. I'm definitely going to have to stake them next season. Thanks so much for watching!

Gorgeous gladiolus 🌸🌷🌹🌺

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

I grew glads in quantity for the first time last year with blooms from June until frost! A wonderful bonus to growing them is that I saw some American Bumblebees (endangered or almost endangered) for the first time! In addition to regular glads I planted hardy glads specifically Abyssinian Glads. Such graceful plants and needing no staking. I was so inspired I made a video “Glad for glads.”

[@angieguynn1361]

Beautiful as always. Thanks for sharing 😊. The Roseanne Green Lisianthus looks soooo good with white gladiolus . Love gladiolus.

My Grampa grew glads every year. Wonderful memories of beautiful flowers. Time to try it for myself.

[@adriannebaker6419]

I love gladiolus as they are my birth month flower! They come back for me year after year and I’m in zone 5.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I've always seen them listed as zone 8, but they are so dependable here, I don't even bother to dig them up. I wonder if some varieties are more tolerant than others. Thanks so much for watching!

[@adriannebaker6419]

Could be. I just bought a random mixed bag of bulbs a few years back. No idea the variety. I have never dug them up and they come back and even multiply! Thanks for the videos.

[@MickeyBulldog]

I think they may be coming back a bit. I’ve seen other cut flower farmers show theirs off. I’m getting hooked and hope to plant some next year!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I hope so! I've really enjoyed having them in the yard this year. Thanks for watching!

[@msmaddox2918]

Love glads! I brought a bouquet into the office with some glads and someone said it reminded them of funerals. I said I wouldn't know, I haven't been to a lot of funerals...

[@monawolfe]

Lovely. I’m not a huge fan of glads, but the purple one is a very pretty color. Speaking of pretty, your new photo is just that! 💗🌸

[@alisonburgess345]

Yep I'm with you here. I grew them for the first time this season (in Australia, so I'm digging them up now). First, I was shocked at how beautiful they are in real life. I grew them as a trial and handed out bunches to friends, and second, I was surprised at their reaction! They LOVED them and wanted to buy bunches regularly. So I'm on board the gladdy train and ordering more... Great video, showing their gorgeous, delicious colour range..

[@jtarter2447]

I love them I got 200 this year!!!

Glads are back! I grew some last sesson, this season and will plant a lot next season!

🤍gladiolus… first year I’ve grown it and I only have green so far (zone 6a). Ready to see color.

I love gladiolus too! They are beautiful and there are so many varieties.

[@MariaSanchez-zf9cs]

Wow! the purple one is perfect!

[@barbarafegley5566]

I love gladiolus and planted 130 of them in a raised bed. I think flower farmers just prefer cut and come again type of plants. Nicole at flowerhill farm NY sings the phases of gladiolas.

[@barbarafegley5566]

gladiolus. Bouquet with glads and lisianthus together is gorgeous. Thank you for this . Your cut flowers are inspirational to me.

[@coloradotulips]

Super video - I had thrips galore in my front garden last year. Those I left in the ground are coming up now in my Zone 5b garden! My cooler shadier back garden glads were in perfect shape last year while the front were decimated. Strange, right? I’m going to take your advice and do the bleach dip on my remaining gladiolus going into the ground this year. Thank you!

[@andathenasaid]

It’s true, they are available in almost every shade of the rainbow. There’s something to fit every color scheme.

[@jacintabyline]

Kia ora from New Zealand! And yes - I LOVE gladiolus! I am about to place my order for our spring planting and the video was extremely helpful. I am sticking to the block colors and had decided on purple, white, pink and the lime green one - but seeing how lovely your purple glads look with that gorgeous yellow, I think I need a yellow as well. Thanks for another great video - and your pronunciation is spot-on!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

The purple and yellow is such a bright color contrast! Thanks so much for watching! :)

Oh my goodness... Your Gladis are gorgeous. I love that Guinea variety. I've never seen that sort of colouring available in New Zealand.

The 'Guinea' one was really surprising! The color really is so different than anything else that I've grown. Thanks for watching!

Lovely collection 💜👌There's always something to learn from your vids 😊 I only have one variety of glads called "Far West" which brightens my garden every year with its vibrant colours (yellow and dark pink)

@@TONYAwiththeflowers Thanks 🤗 Happy Gardening 💖

[@gardeningjunkie2267]

I bought a landscaper special of gladiolus and have ugly glads popping up everywhere that I immediately pull. Well at least I can come see your beautiful ones and get some inspiration! I did have a few from last year, no thrips. I store them in coarse vermiculite and sulfur powder. It works great on all tubers and corms.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I tried to buy a bargain mix last year, which unfortunately, led to my huge thrip problem - lol! I've never tried storing them with sulfur powder. Thanks so much for watching!

[@gardengatesopen]

Can you describe the "ugly glads" ? How are they different? I don't know the difference between landscaper glads, and the others. Altho, I am very curious...

[@gardeningjunkie2267]

@@gardengatesopen It was supposed to be a beautiful mix of colors but it wasn't. Just the same muted dusty pink brown that you can hardly see. I got 100 of this "mix".

I planted 50 mixed glads this year all at the same time. I thought that they would bloom all at the same time but they seem to just come one color at a time. Kind of odd. My favorite was a peachy one with a yellow throat. So gorgeous! Yours were of course stunning as well.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Mine all seemed to bloom within about a week of each other, but there's actually still one that I'm waiting on - it hasn't even formed flower spikes, yet! Thanks for watching!

[@itsmewende]

I came across a bag of Glads I bought some yrs ago and forgot about, they're so much prettier then the pic on the bag. The flowers go up the stem 20", just measured. They aren't as pretty as yours tho. Have you seen Danielle at North lawn flower farm, she has great tips on cutting them apart to use in arrangements.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I might have to check that out! I'm thinking about making a gladiolus wreath - I think that it would be really pretty.

[@UnderAPileOfScrap]

I think glads are making a come back for cut flowers as I've seen many on KZbin growing them. The Forte Rosa is gorgeous, thought they would be perfect with the one white ones at the end that had the coral centers. I live in North Central IN (zone 5b) and I had a bag of glad bulbs to plant, but could not find them until a couple weeks ago, so it's a bit late now to start them. I doubt I will remember to give them a bleach dip before I plant any next year, but good to know, in case I do!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I'm so glad, lol! I really do enjoy them. And yes, the 'Mystic Eyes' and 'Forte Rosa' are a perfect color match for each other - gorgeous! Thanks for watching!

[@clairegill7891]

I love Glads 😍 so I planted loads. first time growing them but unfortunately the thrips have attacked them all 😟 not sure if I should just pull them up and throw the corms away? The flowers when they appear are just all mottled. Did u just leave yours in the ground when u had thrips if so did they grow back ok? ☹️

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I've read that thrips can be controlled with a period of cold treatment. Since it gets cold here in the winter, I just left them in the ground. The infected plants from last year came back and about half of them had beautiful blooms - the other half haven't bloomed, just lots of green foliage. Dipping the corms before planting really did make a huge difference this year. Hope that helps!

[@gardengatesopen]

I haven't grown any Glads, but I have heard you and other YT flower growers talk about dipping them bcuz of the thrips. I'm very curious, is this bcuz the larvae live inside the corms? Or do they live on the outside part of the corns? Or is it something else? My uneducated guess would've thought the larvae would live in the soil. But apparently this is not true. Do you know?

[@greenedyfrio338]

Hi. Can i ask how many hours of sum your glads have? Or more or less the location in your garden? Full sun, shade, or half shade? One advantage of lift your gladiolus at the and of the season is on the next season you can do a succession planting every 2/3 weeks and maybe you can match them with dahlias. Stay safe.

[@JeremiahJJay]

I’m sorry I might have missed it, did you mention where you purchase the corms from?

[@SPshaun]

Beautiful! At which stage do you cut them for arrangements?

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

The ones in this video are all technically past when I should have cut them. Ideally, I wait for the color to begin poking out of the green part on each of the florets. Hope that helps!

[@faithfamilyhomestead]

Are you considered a flower business or do you just grow for home use? I've been looking into getting bulbs wholesale and it seems you need a business license so I was wondering if you had one as well

I think the easiest way to identify some of the different flowers is to look at the foliage. Gladiolus always have those tall spiky looking leaves. Thanks so much for watching!
