Garden

How the #$*#&# do people with kids keep their property looking good?  Seriously.  Our home is a mess inside, but outside.  My dear lord.  My beautiful vegetable/flower garden that I had spent many an hour tending to (even once Drew came along, I managed to keep it under control) is one big weed.  Even Drew commented on what a mess it is.  I have a rose of sharon tree in the middle of it that can hardly be seen due to the weeds.  We are going to tear it up and spread grass seed over it (keeping the rose of sharon tree) and I feel like such a failure.
