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.

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.

Native to North America. The strawberry blite is one of those forgotten vegetables that are making a strong comeback to our gardens. It is grown both for its leaves that can be eaten raw in a salad or steamed, and for its red berries. Although, do not be mistaken: despite their appearance and the name, these berries taste more like beets than strawberries. The fruit should be eaten in moderate quantities as the seeds contains some toxic compounds. The fruits were also used by Native Americans to make a red dye.

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/
