澎湖專屬樂曲－菜宅田
一座座比臨成棋盤式的方格，像母親房內五斗櫃的抽屜，藏著許多驚喜；季風使盡力道擊打菜宅，仍撬不開先民留給後世子孫的智慧結晶。～～讓我們看海去／澎湖縣政府
澎湖早期的居民絕大多數是亦漁亦農地生活，為便利漁業操作，傍海築屋成為常規，大部份聚落都座落在天然港澳的海邊；澎湖人也習慣稱呼在海上討生活為「討海」，在陸上耕作則叫「作山」。通常討海或作山均有男女之分，遠洋、近海或深水區的漁撈是男人的專職，婦女則多從事耕作或沿海的簡單漁撈。
早期純粹「作山」的男人寥寥無幾，頂多只是分擔需要用牛或少數比較耗力的農作，其它的瑣碎農務、漁務（補網…等）全由女人包辦。有些不能出海的男人，則從事「巡滬」、磯釣等近岸或潮間帶漁撈工作；至於撿螺螄、挖蚌殼等較簡易的「落海」漁作，同樣是由老弱婦孺「兼差」。表面上，男人做的都是比較危險的工作，卻清閒許多；而婦女們每天所做的勞動，則數倍於男人，所以才會有「澎湖查母台灣牛」之說的流傳。
澎湖的東北季風相當強勁，素有「風島」之稱，日據時期日人也習慣稱之為「風沙島」；強風不僅會直接侵襲作物，它所颳起的海水（鹽霧），也會讓作物枯萎敗死，即使在作物收成後，更會將田地上的表土吹得一乾二淨，只剩難以耕作的砂石。
所以，先民們為抗拒風害、鹽霧及避免表土被強風吹失，大多在住家附近或旱作的農地上，因地制宜以老古石（珊瑚礁）或玄武岩石塊，堆砌成一排排狀似棋盤的防風牆，並於牆內種植農作蔬果，此類菜圃即稱之為「菜宅」；又該砌築圍牆的旱作農地每每筆筆相連，遠觀狀似蜂巢，因而也稱為「蜂巢田」（見於小門嶼）。另在少數水源較為充沛的村落（如大城北、隘門、太武…等）則以蘆竹、芒草作為防風的設施。菜宅的用途
這些有宅岸圍繞的「菜宅」，大多會備有灌溉用的淺水井，種植的多是一些蔬菜及地瓜苗，也是澎湖在冬季時最有生機的「綠洲」；但受氣候影響，通常只能栽培一些蘿蔔、洋蔥、甘藍、結球甘藍（大頭菜）、球花甘藍（花椰菜）、芹菜、茼萵等普通的蔬菜。
澎湖菜宅內的作物，如菜豆、南瓜、絲瓜、黃瓜等，多趕在清明之前完成栽種，澆灑、除草、採摘等動作也持續不斷；到了農曆6月時，高麗菜、白菜種子也會湊上一腳，約育苗1個月後，則需移植到較大的空間。緊接著則是七月栽蔥，八月栽蒜（七蔥八蒜）的工作，以及陸續栽種較為耐寒的蔬菜。
儘管澎湖的農地貧瘠、作物栽種不易，但所耕作出來的蔬菜瓜果，在品質上卻頗為優質；如之名的哈密瓜、嘉寶瓜、楊梅（香瓜茄）、蘆薈、茼萵、落花生、地瓜、高梁、小米……等等，均甚具地方特色。
此外，台灣國寶天王級演奏家(Piyo Hu) 胡笙先生為「2006澎湖花火音樂季」－海洋戀人週活動代言，精通各種管樂器的他一口氣便完成了一、二十首曲子；此次更藉由代言花火音樂季的機會，特別將其中完好的12首曲子贈送給澎湖縣長王乾發，以作為結合藝術推展觀光之資源。
