Steve -- If you find that the "tea" is "soupy" enough that it clogs your
sprayer, another method is to take an inexpensive plastic watering can
and, using a bit larger than the holes in the nozzle, drill the holes
larger. This has worked well for me.
Griff Crump, along the tidal Potomac near Mount Vernon, VA, where PLUM
WINE, an SDB, has an inch of color on it and should open tomorrow, March
7! The earliest bloom I have ever had here previously was in 1975, when
MITTERNACHT, an MDB, bloomed on March 18. Wow!
