janinecollette,

As you already know, glads are not normally dug until about this time of year, but they should be alright. Simply allow them to dry for a week or two or until the tops dry up. Then carefully shake any remaining soil from the bulbs and cut the tops off. Then store them loose in a brown paper bag in a cool, dry location at 50 to 60 degrees F until spring. As to the size, I would suspect two things:
1) You did a fine job at feeding them properly (which most people do not) and providing them with adequate moisture.
2) The corms you originally purchased were imature Glads of a large species. This is a common practice of many suppliers and often leads buyers to at some dissapointment with bulbs and plants in general (a disgusting practice that discourages many new gardeners).

I like to dust my bulbs with a little bit of dusting sulfer when I store them to add a little bit of extra protection. Because they were dug early, I would incorporate a lot of compost into the soil next spring and use some bulb food to help compensate for the lost nutrient storage of this year.

I've found a lot of this type of information at the link below and they've got a pretty good newsletter to.

Thanks so much PB and J.. Great advice! I'm def going to buy some of the dusting sulfer tomorrow at Lowes. Appreciate your help!!!

It is amazing to see those corms for next year! But also know they will shrink down some between now and next spring.I am on my 8th year with glads originally purchased for like 99 cents a bag at a discount place. I like to plant them amongst my bearded Irises. I do wait for at least a freeze or two before pulling and drying and storing. I always am getting lots of new babies that way.

There are a lot of misconceptions about glad bulbs for information on these flower go to gladworld.org and find out that you do not have to leave the corms (bulbs) in the ground until brown. 4 to 6 weeks is adequete and you can remove the stems immediately. Check the forum and leave a question if you are a beginner or a seasoned grower.
