I'm planning to give them another try this spring because I really do enjoy lemons. Grapefruits, not so much.Melissa Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15855126813346312708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073185635856849089.post-19333532037386792332011-01-29T09:46:14.598-08:002011-01-29T09:46:14.598-08:00Those are some large grapefruits!

Struggling farmers appreciate your support.<br />*Maureen - Farmer MacGregor uses a combination of Monterey's Take Down Garden Spray (pyrethrin oil insecticide) and Lilly Miller's Kop-R-Spray (copper spray fugicide). Everything is mixed in a hand held sprayer and applied together at least 2 or 3 times during the winter. So far, this method has been very helpful along with keeping the area around the trees cleared so no critters can hibernate.MAYBELLINEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459481721591224275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073185635856849089.post-48351155104166281662011-01-28T15:57:50.215-08:002011-01-28T15:57:50.215-08:00May I ask what kind of dormant spray you use?
