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.

Peas!
It's time, it really is time, to plant peas! Mine went in the ground on Sunday, and I am hoping to see little new pea shoots like these (from last March), within the next week. Tomorrow I plan to scope out some garden centers to see what transplants are available. If I find some I like, lettuces will go in the ground this coming weekend, along with lettuce seeds for later harvests. Beets and carrots to follow soon, and the garden is off and running. Hah! Take that winter!
