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.
Small, red reactions less than 1-2â in size (the size of a dime) are common do not represent Lyme disease. These are tick-bite reactions, often confused with the rash of Lyme disease. With a tick-bite reaction, the red area does not expand over 24 to 48 hours. Small reactions at the bite site can last days to weeks. The earliest stage of Lyme disease occurs at the site of the tick bite. If the rash is Lyme, it will get bigger over days or weeks and will not fade over the next few days.
