Hey all!
I'm still around, I've just been lurking in the shadows as I've been very busy with work.
Really sorry to hear about your losses Greg.
As others have said, Goldbug is sooo cool!
If it's any consolation, I feel your pain. It appears I lost about 1/3 of my semps too. It might even be as bad as half; I can't really tell until I've given those that appear dead enough time to perhaps come back.
But I'm not giving up. I've made some new beds, and ordered some more plants. I'm waiting to order more semps until I can make a determination of what type/style/attributes, etc. seem to survive best in my crazy part of Kansas.
I'm hoping to post pictures of my projects this year. Hopefully, some plants will be established enough that the fungus won't decimate everything like it did last year so I have some pics that I'm not totally embarrassed by. We shall see.
