I even have soem pretty parrot tulips that I have never gotten to see bloom. Before I realized they were up , they got em. Yesterday I was out looking thru things and found the 2" sprouts, So I quickly got out some spray oil, and cayenne pepper and doused em good. Last yr I made of mix of eggs, garlic and cayenne etc that worked well, but didnt get it started early enough, So I am hoping.Tammyhttp://tammyinwv.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651081377378962304.post-9852324528684378682010-03-17T08:38:06.624-04:002010-03-17T08:38:06.624-04:00You have lots popping up!!
