Turkish rocket is recognizable by its yellow flowers and its deeply chiseled leaves. This perennial plant is ideal for permaculture projects as it is easy to grow, hardy, edible and melliferous. The pear-shaped flower buds taste a bit like rapini, and the young leaves have a delicious cabbage-like taste. The leaves can also be cooked just like spinach.

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.

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.

The leaves are a shimmery dark green, large, thick, and rounded, while the stems are chunky and can range from white to red. Overall, it gives the plant a nice look on top of its good taste. For this reason it is sometimes used purely as an ornamental plant. But nothing stops you from enjoying both looks and taste!

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.

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!
