@ Bev, don't put nothing past ants!! My bed looks like a different bed here's some doing good.But i also have a question about a mounding semp that had a hard time during this summer's great amount of rain.It lost all of it's bottom leaves on not just the mother plant but all offsets as well.Hopefully it will fill back out this growing season.I had a lot of semps that seemed to get smaller & not bigger from the outer/lower leaves rotting from so much rain.
the day i planted it & it didn't take long to perk up

It started getting more offsets and then came the rains

The amount of rotten leaves was causing offsets to rot.I removed as much rotten material as possible,i was scared i was going to loose the whole plant!Now here is what the plant looks like.

A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
