My Flowering Bulbs are Drying ? Storage problem.?
I have bulbs of Daffodils, Gladiolus, Muscari, Hycinths,Anemone and ranunculus tubers. I am living in an area where temperatures in summer reach to 45 Celcius from MAY to SEP. I hang all the bulbs (after they bloom in spring) in mesh in a dark room, temperature 24 C inside home. I have just observed all of them are getting dried, there scales are coming off, are they going to die now, i just put them on top of compost in a shoe box and seal it , will this help them ? i need your help . can i leave the bulbs out doors in pots at this temperature of 45 C for 5 months?
1 AnswerGarden & Landscape10 years agoDoes my hen has Mareks disease ?
Two days ago my hen fell from the tree branch (she use to sleep on tree ) , i thought it is dead, her legs paralyzed, but she was breathing, so i put her in the carton and provide her food/water, now today she jumped out of the carton and start walking, although not as good as before but it appears her legs are getting improved, i didn't give any medicine , she might be 100% fit in another day or so:
1. Was she having Markes Disease or someting else ?
2. What are teh other indications of MArkers disease , i guess it because her legs were paralyzed ?
3. Can i put her back with other hens/chicks ?
