I'm doing an 1830 Oklahoma Cherokee garden to honor Carl Barnes and my late grandma next year at my community farm and a little bit of the Wendat nation who were part of the Huron confedracy centuries ago. You know the Wendat?

I'm aware of them. I live around where they used to live when they were in Ohio & I know they mostly ended up in Missouri. I don't know anything about their plants, though.

I've spoken to you once or twice before. I figured you might be interested in the find, whether you planned to add them or not. But, sadly, that was the only other thing I could find. After that, I actually started going through the archives of a group that does heirloom garden seems from Appalachia, but I can't find records that anything they have directly connects back to any tribe in particular. So, nothing new to report, sadly. I'd tell you if I knew.

You also grew Haudenusnee white corn before? I grew only the Myaamia one.

No. This will be our first heirloom crop. My brother was clearing land to expand his garden & said he wanted to try to grow pumpkins & watermelon, so I talked him into this & kind of found the Boston Marrows on accident.

Greetings! My Illinois-Tamaroa white flour corn has done tremendously, as have my Illinois green stripe cushaw, Miami-Peoria little people rabbit bean, Illinois red seed watermelon, Miami tobacco, a little bit of my Miami tan pumpkin and Meskwaki lima bean in my Miami-Illinois garden this year. I also got some Miami white flour corn, Miami spotted pumpkin and Miami cornfield bean on the other side of my community farm. I'll show you all some pictures of my gardens sometime in the future. Thanks!

What's happening  Jon! Today I've grown some Potawatomi white flour corn, Miami pumpkin, Miami bean, Potawatomi cowpea and Potawatomi red seed watermelon at my community farm to help boost local awareness and rememberance of what my community and region was like years ago. I'll let you know my progress this fall and go from there.
