I never had to spray in past summer & no sign of thrips. I found out that thrips thrive in onions. We made sure no onions were close to glads this year. Maybe this helped. Also I bought new bulbs from a different source in 2007. Maybe I bought them! Our year is nearly over. My tally shows sales of 1368 bunches of flowers, each containing 6 spikes. That is over 8000 spikes! Made many people happy. Many were bought by people who were taking them to their church. Good growing to all! Bernie |
