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.

Striped tulips and colorful hens
Just a quick shot of the new tulip hybrid that seems to be successfully naturalizing here in Carteret. Usually our standard tulips live only one year. These are flowering for the second time, and have multiplied already. I really like the pointed flower petals and pink stripes. Another colorful addition to the yard: Louise, Hilda, and Pauline, free ranging on the spring grass.
