These pictures are actually of the plants themselves. And the plastic they are set in. The plastic was laid several weeks ago. It's set really early to get the ground nice and ready for the melon plants. So here is half of what I promised.
The perky little melon seedling popping out of the plastic
It's almost art!! Okay Not really But it's kinda purty to me!! :)
In a matter of weeks this little guy will almost have tripled in size!! And will have pretty little vines growing in all different directions
But right now you can hardly see the green little heads sticking out of the plastic
This is my Golden Chariot!! I can usually been seen flying up & down the country roads between Mama Farmer's house and our humble abode. With a bandanna in my hair, a metal bucket of eggs, a giant bottle of water strapped to the cargo rack, and my handy dandy camera bag dangling from the handle bars... It's not a pretty site.
The next few pics are of our garden. Which always gets planted in the plastic. It helps keeps the weeds down.
My Beautiful Pepper Plants!! Oh How I Love Thee!!
And one more picture of the pepper plant for good measure.
This just happened to slip right out of my camera on to here. I can't delete it!!
Yes it's a whole row of Pepper Plants!!!
Onions!!! Mmmmmm Sweet Onions! I'm already planning dinners in my head for these bad boys
Oh there is nothing in this world better then an Indiana grown Tomato! I'm telling you, that you haven't tasted a tomato if you haven't bitten in to a red, ripe, juicy tomato off the vine in the middle of The Hoosier State.
And that is my garden. I forgot to take pictures of the Cucumbers. My Hubby lives off cucs in the summer time! That boy will actually pick them, rub them on his shirt to get most of the dirt off and bite right into it! I love fresh vegetables but NOT that fresh!!!
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend. And please don't forget the sacrifices that were made for us to celebrate this long weekend! And if you can Thank a Veteran. They can never hear Thank You enough.
Love & Hugs

Great pics! It's funny how the four wheeler has become a must have for the farm. Ours usually either has a gun bungeed on the front or hedge clippers. :-)
You mentioned that there's nothing like an Indiana tomato, which got me to thinking. I grew up in the official "tomato capital of the world." Go ahead and google it, and you'll find out the name of my hometown. The irony is that it's a city in PA. Not a farming town. A city!!!! Okay, not like a big city like Chicago. But still, not a farming community. How it got its name, I don't know. It's a running joke in my hometown. Lol!
P.S. I just googled it myself, and it turns out that there's a lot of "tomato capitals of the world." Lol! Anyhow, like I said, the one in PA, that's my hometown.
Again, thanks for sharing the pics! Love them.
Marla that is so totally funny!! But I do have to say that when people who are from here go away and have to eat tomaotes in other states they always say Indiana tomatoes are better... Why I don't know. But I have no idea about tomato capitals. My sister lived in PA for almost 5 years and now lives in RI. And she says she really misses the way veggies tasted at home. No garden she has ever planted has come close. So I'm just getting my info by word of mouth. Now my sister is moving to NY and will be living right smack dab in the middle of the city so I don't even know if she will be able to do one of those upside down hanging thingys. Poor girl!! I guess I might have to fed ex some 'maters to my sister...
Love the pictures! Never had an Indiana tomato but after a look at that plant, I sure want to. Of course, I don't really get out that way too often. Next time, I'll make a point to try one.
Forget about mowing our yard, come and be our gardener/travel mascot!! That looks wonderful and puts my little veggie garden to shame. It's actually blushing right now LOL.
Rome was spectacular, will post pics later :)
I just came across your blog. It's so great! You seem so positive and I love how bright and colorful your blog is. Hope to continue reading more!
