They get no respect. First they were overrun by radishes and lettuce that bolted and burst into seed. Then they were infested by bugs. Now they’re blocked by bean towers that let no sun shine through.

Sometimes I think that the cooler weather is coming on and they could bounce back and thrive. I don’t know what to do.
