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.
Early Signs and Symptoms (3 to 30 days after tick bite) 1  Fever, chills, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes. 2  Erythema migrans (EM) rash: Occurs in approximately 70 to 80 percent of infected persons. Begins at the site of a tick bite after a delay of 3 to 30 days (average is about 7 days) Expands gradually over a period of days reaching up to 12 inches or more (30 cm) across. May feel warm to the touch but is rarely itchy or painful.
