You should be o.k. to wait until he brings them.
My husband picked up four bags for me yesterday at our Ace Hardware/Co-op store. I probably won't fertilize mine until the end of April, first of May. I've only got one pad to the water surface at the moment and its still a bit cool here.

Thanks Shannah.


Ask and you shall receive!  Not only did my dad pick some tomato spikes up for me, but my very good online friend in Illinois did as well, and sent them to me in a box full of goodies.  PLUS... my Christmas Tree Shops apparently got a huge shipment in also and I bought 4 packages of 18 spikes earlier today, before I received the package today, so I am good to go! @O@

The interesting thing is... Dad got his at an ACE Hardware store in Florida, and today he told me they are 8-24-8!  I thought others had said here that Jobes isn't making those anymore?  Do I assume these are old then?  Dad said they had LOTS of them.  The ones I bought, and the ones my friend sent are 6-18-6.

I bought some today at the local Truvalue hardware store - a little over $3 - lot cheaper than the lily tabs I used to buy!   O0
