Hi Jim.. so are you saying that

* the perennial crops would be things like: artichokes, asparagus,
rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc...
and that these you would use just one application of preplant (and
lime)?
* and that the everbearing annuals would be things like: tomatoes,
peppers, squash, (melons?) and they require an extra dose of preplant 2
months after the first application of preplant?

(Exactly - JK)
