Is it the end?

We have been having horrible weather this summer. What the dog did not ruin it seems the heat has. My plants are all dying. I truly wonder at this point if it would be better that I allow them to die. I could always do a fall garden and hope that the horrendous weather does not follow. I don't know what I want to do though. The garden was my goal for the year and it seems mother nature in every sort of way has decided that it isn't for me. This is made even harder by the fact I can look at my neighbor's garden and it looks far better. It has also had to deal with the extreme heat and you can see that but it at least was able to escape the torment from a playful dog. The other reason I am against letting it fully die is a bunny has taken residence below my zucchini plant and it is shading him for the sun. I suppose with this in mind I will just have to let my garden die naturally and I may water the zucchini just to provide a bit of shelter to the animals that do not have an air conditioner to escape to.
