Corn salad
3,55 $
This vegetable thrives in the cold. Therefore, it should be sown early in the spring, or at the end of summer, in an compost enriched soil. Its leaves are allegedly as rich in beta-Carotene as carrots, and a good source of vitamins A and C, and of iron.
We produce 95% of our seeds on our farm. Unfortunately, cornsalad seeds are hard to produce in Quebec. These seeds were thus purchased from an organic seed saver in the United States.

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.

Graceful with its dark red leaves, this lettuce is nonetheless fierce. It has a high resistance to bolting as well as to insects and other pests. The leaves are wavy and crunchy. The lettuce is often described as semi-romaine, as the head is a bit loose and ruffled. Great taste. Rare. A special thanks to Mr. Paquet for sharing it with us.

Common comfrey is widely used in organic agriculture as green manure. It can also be made into comfrey liquid manure or added to compost. This helps with soil fertility and thus plant growth.
Comfrey is also very popular among bumblebees and other bees that thoroughly enjoy its sweet nectar.
The plant easily reach a meter in height. The stem is a little prickly, and the leaves are large, alternate, pointy, and covered in hair. Above all of this, shoots grow where pink or purple flowers bloom in the middle of summer.
*For better germination rates, the seeds should be stratified. To do this, place the seeds in small bag full of humid sand of soil, and put the said bag in the fridge for 2 weeks.
*This comfrey is not Russian comfrey (such as Bocking 14). Russian comfrey doesn't produce seeds and would therefore be tricky to sell in seed packages.
Warning. We advise against regular comfrey consumption. The plant contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids which can be toxic for the liver in high dosage.
