Lenape Blue


The beans, sigh, are still running wild over the corn in Canarsie. I guess -- as in all families -- there are "issues" between the siblings. The bean is clearly the bossy sister in this dynamic. The squash is independent -- carving out space for herself. And the corn is very, very tolerant.
I picked my first Lenape blue. A stubby ear that was already half undressed. I pulled back the husks and found gorgeous, dazzling deep blue kernels.
Carl stopped by to say hello again. I gave him three kernels for good luck.
