Garden update again

Some time has passed since my last update on the garden. A neighbor of mine said a gardener advice for me ( the beginner ) to remove all my calendula flowers because the gladiolus flowers wont bloom. Does this seem to you like "not blooming" ?

P.S- the one I'm holding with my hand is the first to bloom and it is dedicated to my beloved one! Thank you for everything!

Small update on the garden.
