I decided that if I nitpick every weed that comes along, I will spend all my time pulling weeds and never enjoy the flowers, and that is of course the main reason I have the garden-to enjoy the flowers. So to me even if the garden is not what I consider well maintained (weed free, mulched, pruned ect) as long as the flowers do ok that is all I really care about ultimately. I would rather have a larger garden with more variety even if I wasn't able to keep it maintained as well as I like.

Ahh, blasphemy! Lol! Maybe that homes owner is just waiting for an experienced gardener like yourself to inspire them and show them how it's done. (Is fake-flower-house near your house?)
