AUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH

My ladies' mantle: drowned
My David Austin roses: balled and beaten down
My peonies: draggin' in the grass
My underplanted thyme and nepeta: splayed
My tomatoes: already have yellowy spotted looking lower leaves (that I've cut off but still)
My delphinium: don't ask

My sugar snaps: huge, filled w/ water and tasteless

My weeds: BIGGER AND BOLDER AND TALLER AND MORE PLENTIFUL THAN EVER
