No garden here...just letting things grow for the birds. The heat caused early blooms and little fruit. My okra seed didn't produce one plant this year. Last year was more than wonderful, everything in big abundance..so I am hoping next year will be great as well. Yes, you can get bad packs of seeds. This weird weather has a lot to do with it as well. I only use 10-10-10 fertilizer on the garden. It is a good simple, balanced food for plants.
