Plant tulip bulbs in the fall, 6 to 8 weeks before a hard frost is expected and when soils are below 60 degrees F. (See our frost dates.) This timing ranges from early autumn (Zone 4) to late autumn (warmer zones). To find the best dates, see our fall bulb planting chart.
Lyme disease symptoms usually occur in phases: 1  As stated above it starts off as a target shaped bullseye rash that grows and spreads. Typical period for this localized rash to appear is 3-30 days. 2  Some people get a tick bite swelling in the area which goes down within a day or two.
1 Place the tick in a small container of rubbing alcohol to kill it. 2  Clean the bite wound with rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide.  Monitor the site of the bite for the next 30 days for the appearance of a rash. If you develop a rash or flu-like symptoms, contact your health care provider immediately.
