Griff, you've had no problems with retarded bloom using Preen?  I used it 
this spring (first time) on 3 beds, two seedling and 1 reselect.  I used roundup, 
waited a few days and planted.  For some reason I let the first bed set too 
long and had to do a roundup after the seedlings were planted.  Put mum pots 
over the seedlings, sprayed with round up and then used the Preen. I'm very 
pleased with the growth in this bed.

The other two beds were very clean when I transplanted and I applied the 
Preen as soon as they were finished.  These two beds were planted 2-3 weeks later 
than the first bed, but are just sitting there with very little growth.  I 
noticed some minor growth today.  I'd been a little concerned that putting the 
Preen on so quick might be retarding the growth.  

This is my first year to use it so I'm touchy about any variations in growth.
