Plants, animals, and people living in Coastal North Carolina are influenced by large, shallow bodies of water, called "Sounds." The Sound's daily influence can be a challenge or a gift. The word "sound" also means "in good condition; not damaged, injured, or diseased." Sound Harvest and Garden will try to reflect both those meanings, as I aim for sound vegetables, herbs, chickens, eggs, and ornamentals, all from my home by Core Sound.

Something new every day
Every morning now I find something has either popped out of the ground, opened up new flowers, or doubled in size overnight. Oh it feels so good to be outside! Here are a couple of photos from my gardens this morning. Note the species tulips that naturalize and come back, in greater numbers, year after year. No need to pull out the bulbs at the end of the season. Look at the tightly curled fiddleheads from the fern, and the thick, beautiful asparagus shoots. Finally, the spinach is so big and beautiful I had to include it again. I can't wait to get out in the yard this weekend.
