Very crunchy lettuce, sent by a friend from France a few years ago. Very easy to go, it seeds to have grown fond of Quebec's climate.
We were able to find the following informations on the Internet : "This lettuce surely had the Champagne territory as its cradle since the start of the 19th Century. Then, as decades went by, the name got lost like it happens with so many varieties. It nonetheless survived over time thanks to its undeniable qualities, saved by a woman named Angèle. The variety has kept on existing and spreading around, now under this name.
Luckily, Gilbert Vincent, notorious bean collector, was able to conclude, after many years of research that the 'Angèle' lettuce was the same as another variety from Champagne too, 'Alphange à graine noire'." (free translation)
The variety is also referenced under its English names in a London publication from the 1870s, The Garden by William Robinson.

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 spinach variety is very rare. It comes from a convent, the Congregation of the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul in Kingston, ON. These sisters grew over 400 different cultivars of vegetables, fruits, and herbs. They're offered us some treasures that have been grown for over a century. Some of their seed packages were even written using a typewriter. For more information, visit Le Potager d'Antan (in French): https://potagersdantan.com/2011/01/06/lepinard-norfolk/
