I Love this Garden, Canarsie



Yesterday I was back down in Canarsie. I think the garden is looking great. A passerby stopped to chat. I explained what we were doing and she said, "I knew something special was going on here." Probably the nicest compliment we could get.
But I am sad to say our original Lenape Blue doesn't seem to be doing so well. I couldn't bear to take a picture close up of the situation. It was the first seedling to sprout from the ground --one of a select few from the first batch of seeds that actually emerged. It grew to be the largest stalk in the group. The majestic Lenape Blue. It seems to have been felled by a firecracker on Independence Day. The cruelest of ironies.
