The tree onion, or Egyptian onion, has been grown in Quebec for a long time. It is mentioned as early as in the 1820s, and was allegedly brought in with the first colonizers. However its true origin remains mysterious; some people claim that it comes from Catawissa, a town in Pennsylvania, while others say it comes from China.
It is a perennial onion that produces, at the tip of its leaves, clusters of red grape-sized bulbils. The most commonly harvested parts are these bulbils and the bulb, but the leaves can also be used, chopped just like chives. After 2 to 3 years, the plant might start feeling a bit crowded at its base: divide the bunch, and transplant individual sections further apart. Extra ones can be eaten like green onions. The tree onion has an elongated bulb that ranges from small to medium in size.
Package: About 8 small bulbils per order

Pink Canabec tomatoes give pink, round, middle-sized fruits. This tomato was developped in 1975 by the agronomist Robert Doucet at the Saint-Hyacinthe Agriculture Research Center. It was created specially to suit Quebec regions' climate. It is therefore a productive, early-yielding variety that's quite compact for an indeterminate tomato.

Chickpeas are easy to grow and adapt well to a broad range of soils and climates. Widely grown around the Mediterranean, chickpeas do prefer the heat. Nonetheless they can withstand cooler temperatures and even frosts when it is still small (4-5 leaves).
Chickpea roots harbour nitrogen-fixing bacteria that enrich the soil (90kg/ha). After harvesting, do not uproot the plants. Instead, leave the roots in the ground so that they, and the bacteria, decompose.
