I want to hear from people that do this and know what to do to have them be ready for spring planting.

I live in Nebraska where the winters get very cold. Is it still ok to leave them in the ground? Or do I have to dig them up and store them? I do not have a cellar, just a basement.

i keep mine in the shed in a paper bag
plastic bags promote rot
you can leave them in the ground for ever unless you want to split them

Keep them in the cellar. Think dark, cool, and dry. I have a small side room in my basement that is perfect. I keep my bulbs in a wood bucket and cover that with a sack.

In the Southern Region -Texas we do not pull any of our bulbs. They are fine year round. You can store them in a cool dark place away from any dampness and they will be fine. Let them dry/air out first.

I live in Buffalo NY and I have never dug out my gladiolas and they multiply every year,so much so that I dig them out and pass them around to anyone that wants them. Go figure and this has been going on for over 20 years!
