Kicking off the 2004 season
The weather is getting warmer and that's a sure sign the Melonman is preparing his patch for this year's crop.

What a rollercoaster of a ride life has been over the last couple of years! The best laid plans are subject to abrupt change with all of life's trials. My resolve and determination to set a new world record becomes more entrenched with every adverse obstacle that tries to thwart me from success. John Paul Jones said it best: " Surrender, Hell! I've just begun to fight!" So sit back and enjoy our site or get your hands into the soil and share the bounties from life's gardens!!! We cannot direct the winds but we can adjust our sails.....Bob
 Kiki, the stowaway kitty, has adjusted to her new home. She enjoys melon trivia and country living. Hmmmmm...maybe she will help with rodent control in the garden???

 The honeybees have survived another brutal winter and are sure signs of impending spring.

 Honeybees play an important role in life-some more than others.

 My small melon field has rested over winter with a cover crop of annual rye-grass and begins to slowly awaken with each longer and warmer day. I will be sprouting new seedlings any day now and thus the cycle of life begins once again...

 Heres a new two inch well that will provide much needed moisture to an arid field this season. Plump watermelons on the way.... |
