After reading your message, I am seeing some common
denominators.
My worst damage is on established clumps in beds.
There is almost no damage in the back forty where things are
rowed out and cultivated by John Deere and yours truly. The entire
back forty was reset in May, September, and October. The re-
select seedlings were transplanted in May, right after bloom so as
to get increase faster.
