Tatty-looking, web-festooned plants

If I don't get amongst my plants on a daily basis, they seem to look really dusty, and are often covered in cobwebs. Does anyone else have this problem? Do I REALLY have to dust outside as well inside???

It is just the time of the year; borders always look a bit exhausted by August. Make sure everything is well watered and possibly feed flowering plants, cut off dead looking bits hose down tired looking foliage if there has not been any rain and enjoy the rest of the summer.
One of the 'fringe benefits' of a long hot summer - the cobwebs will look gorgeous when the heavy morning dews start

Thank you! I compare my garden with the neighbours', and mine looks AWFUL! Seems like I need to get off the laptop, and go and do some outside housework!
