Curly Endive
3,78 $
The leaves of this large curly endive grow in a rosette, and have a white midrib.
Chicory is mainly grown for its young leaves, but can also be eaten once mature when its delightful taste gets a spark of bitterness. Crunchy charming leaves.
Can be blanched by covering each plant with an upside-down pot for 2 to 3 weeks. Just make sure to elevate those pots a bit from the ground to provide sufficient air circulation. Can help to reduce bitterness.

Tetragon is usually grown for its leaves, which can be added in salads or cooked. Thanks to its ability to withstand difficult climates, this plant grows readily in the wild in China, Reunion Island, and New Zealand. It is also fairly easy to grow in Quebec, but it will behave as an annual since it cannot tolerate frost.
Held up by a round stem, tetragon has a really unique look with its thick leaves and quadrangular fruits. Good source of vitamin B1, B2 and C; the New Zealand spinach is both delicious and nutritious!

Malabar spinach originally comes from the Malabar Coast, India's southwest coast. Eaten like our spinach, it however grows in very different conditions; it loves heat and light as you might expect from its origin. It also has a quite distinct look, climbing up as it grows more and more leaves for us to harvest all summer long. It is both delicious and gorgeous. Malabar spinach can be grown in the ground or in pots.

Grosse Blonde Paresseuse lettuce (Large Lazy Blonde Lettuce).
Mentioned in 1904 by Vilmorin, a French seed saver, this ancient variety grows into a large head with crunchy blond green leaves. It is hardy, and doesn't bolt easily. It gave us a nice harvest this summer.

Light green lettuce of average size, with slightly wavy leaves. The plant is heat-tolerant and doesn't bolt easily. Easy to grow and delicate despite the rather violent name, referring to the weapon used by some First Nation tribes.
This variety was gifted to us a few years ago by a French gardener, Jérôme, and is since a common sight in our gardens (the lettuce, not Jerome).

This Batavia head lettuce has light green leaves, sprinkled with red dots. They are slightly wavy, reminiscent of a jester costume, which explains the name. They are also crispy and delicious. The plant itself is very hardy, and resistant to bolting. This allows for a longer harvest with delayed planting.
This variety was developed by Frank Morton in Oregon, who made a triple-cross between the “Reine des Glaces”, “Merlot”, and “Flashy Troutback” varieties. It was selected for both its visual and eating qualities.

Medicinal plant. Its properties have been known since antiquity, in Orient as well as in the Western world. In North America, it spread with European colonizers. The name 'white man's foot' comes from the First Nations, who noticed that this plant started growing wherever Europeans went.
Plantain has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It is used to treat wounds, skin irritations, respiratory tract and mucus lining inflammations, rheumatism, and constipation. Overall, broadleaf plantain purifies the body.

This spinach variety is hardy and slow to go to seed. Its large triangular leaves can be eaten raw or cooked. They can be harvested as you need, as it is recommended to consume them shortly after harvest. However they can also easily be frozen.
Can be sown at intervals if you prefer baby spinach.
Package: 130 seeds
