Root parsley, the lesser known cousin of the curly and flat parsleys, is mainly grown for its hefty white root. This root's taste is very mild and sweet, and it can be cooked just like carrots, celeriac, or parsnips. The fragrant leaves can also be eaten just like common parsley, but should be harvested in moderate amounts to avoid weakening the root.

Also called Gombo, this plant produces a fruit that can be eaten raw or cooked, with a taste somewhat similar to eggplant. Young leaves can replace spinach. In some countries, the mature seeds are roasted and used as coffee beans. A member of the hibiscus family (Okra latin name is Hibiscus esculentus), its flower is one of the most beautiful in the garden. Originally from Africa, Okra entered Spain in the 8th Century with the moorish invasion. Later introduced in the United States by African slaves, it was considered for some time as poor people food. It is an essential ingredient in gumbo and is commonly used in Louisiana and Southern States cuisine.

This herb is commonly used in Acadian traditional cooking. It should therefore not be a surprised that, through time, they developed their own summer savory variety.
The first records of 'Ancienne d'Acadie' summer savory go back to Mr. Jean Prudent Robichaud in Burnt Churchill, Nouveau-Brunswick, at the end of the 19th Century. He received the seeds from a local indigenous woman. His family then grew the plant over several generations.
Given that this variety has had to adapt to the harsh and windy Eastern Canadian climate, it became stockier and hardier than common summer savory. The flavor is also more distinct.

Clary sage is a perennial plant that is valued both for its culinary and ornemental qualities. The flowers are white with some purplish blue undertones, and are an absolute delight for bees. It is used just like common sage, but some recommend using clary sage for more extended uses. In popular medicine, the leaves are used to heal wounds. Clary sage has been grown since Antiquity for its medicinal properties.
This plant only starts flowering on the second year, but it is well worth the wait to see the carpenter bees and hawk-moths feast on the blooms.
