Did you remove the tea bags? If not, the roots will have been badly restricted and the plants just could not get enough nutrients to grow well. I think tea bags should be banned. They are a real nuisance. Usually removing them involves damaging the root ball to release the bag and set the roots free.
They actually look ok for growing in @bobsunscreenlist - but I think it's just what we were saying - the plants were finished for the year, apart from those flowers that are left. I don't think you've done much wrong if you had a crop. Whether you try and keep plants fro next year is up to you - nothing wrong with experimenting if you have the room and the time
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
