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!

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.

Small head lettuce with red undertones. Baquieu lettuce combines hardiness with early harvest. It might be an ancient German variety then called 'Erstling' (meaning the first) due to how early it can be harvested. Mentions of this variety are found in horticultural documents of the end of the 17th Century.

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/

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.
