Believe me, mine is the same. There are flowers of beauty here and there, but the over all look is sad indeed. And I'm tired of watering! My knee has relapsed and hubby has to do it for me anyway. Guess I'll just call this year's garden a wash, and look forward to next year! Although I must admit that I have lots of pots out there waiting to be planted once my knee cooperates!
