Accabonac Harbor
Gardeners: Biddle Duke, Idoline Duke, Edwina von Gal
They call them “Accabonac Blues” from Accabonac Harbor. Grown off Edwina’s dock, at the end of a long plank walkway across the marsh. The gardeners get together from late April to late October to do all that needs to be done — getting the oysters up off the bottom in the spring and having a look to see how they overwintered, cleaning the rig and the bags and sorting through the oysters and chipping off their growing edge so they grow fat and deep. But, really, it’s about the time together. Biddie loves spending time with these two smart, cool women — especially through this pandemic. And to be on the marsh and in the water, watching the little guys grow, and knowing that this is all good for our bays and creeks. This little endeavor is the definition of a blessing any way you look at it.
