Cooperative Extension

I am in the process of setting priorities for our future programming, and could use your help. If you live in or own property in Carteret County, would you please take a moment to answer a 20 question, anonymous survey that will tell us which issues are most important to you? Just click on the link below, or cut and paste it to your browser. Thank you!

For 7 years this blog reflected my personal gardening experience in a front and backyard on an island in Carteret County, North Carolina. Now I live up the beach, on another North Carolina island, in Dare County. For almost two years my focus has been on settling into a tiny, 720 sq ft cottage, built in 1945. It needed to be gutted and rebuilt, and my job was to design the layout so the house is both cozy and efficient. A few tiny fruit trees now are planted, and the massive live oak has been pruned a bit off our home and the neighbors'. It is beginning to feel alive, and like home.
