We're heading into the 2018 gardening season, but you can't tell it by this picture.

This year bob planted the petunias in the hanging pots.

A undentified red plant in Bob's 2018 Garden. A Google image search suggests it's a Prince of Wales's Feathers also known as a Feather Celosia.

I planted petunias in the hanging pots this year.

bob filled the hanging planters with petunias in a variety of colors.

Petunias in Bob's 2018 Garden

Birds and squirrels have been sharing the bird feeder all afternoon. The webcam caught this picture of a Cardinal taking it's turn at the trough.

I've received some good suggestions on how to discourage these rodents from raiding the bird feeder. My favorite is a BB to the butt, but I'm going to go with something a little less painful for the squirrel.

Of all the garden pictures I've take over the past 6 years this is my favorite.

As usual the petunias in bob's garden are doing well. Petunias are incredibly easy flowers to grow.

I planted my smallest garden ever in 2018. 6 tomatoe plants and 4 cucumber plants. The garden got off to a rough start and has a long way to go before Autumn.

Yet another picture of the 2018 petunias.

This early morning image captured by the kitchen cam gives the garden an eerie winter-like look.

The flowers are doing well this year.

The flowers are doing well. So aren't the tomatoes. But I don't expect to see many cucumbers in the fall.

The garden is coming along slowly. There are a few more cucumbers than I expected. I didn't expect any.

To deter the squirrels bob slid a PVC tube over the wooden pole that supports bird feeder. So far it seems to be working.
