summer watermelons

Don Nesto, our gardener, is growing organic watermelons and cantaloupes for the resort's restaurant. Apparently the vines love the sandy soil behind Big Beach. Had some of his cantaloupes yesterday. Sweet as honey!

organic effort off to a great start

Don Nesto, our gardener, is diligently working on getting our organic herb garden started. We are composting organic waste from the resort's kitchen and using the compost to fertilize our garden. I brought him seeds when I was in Atlanta in February. We'll soon have organic cilantro, parsley, dill, lavender, tarragon, oregano, rosemary, basil, and thyme to use in the kitchen. And this is just the beginning! The goal is to eventually grow as many vegetables as feasible right here on the property (all organically, of course).
