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.

Get this guy
OK, just a quick note to you vegetable gardeners. It is early, but I have captured and smashed 6 adult leaffooted bugs already in the garden. They are hard on tomatoes and other vegetables. Here is a link to some great photos of adults, young, and eggs. Search out and squish all of these now, before they get out of control. Last year I was not vigilant enough, and by mid summer my tomatoes were buzzing with dozens of these critters. http://tiny.cc/6ujlh
