Thyme
3,78 $
Essential in any garden, thyme is an herb originally from Eurasia. Perennial and hardy, key ingredient in Provencal spices, melliferous, the list goes on as to why this plant is so valuable in a garden. Egyptians and Etruscans mixed thyme in with their ointments to embalm their deceased. Greeks would burn it in front of altars and houses because they believed it had purifying properties. In the language of flowers, thyme is a sign of bravery, long-lasting love, creativity, dynamism, and physical resistance.
In infusion, with a bit of lemon, it is said to be a miracle cure for minor respiratory infections. Thyme also has stimulating, desinfecting, expectorant, digestive, and several other properties, making it a great ally for the winter.

Scorzonera hispanica
Black salsify or Spanish salsify is a vegetable cultivated for its long black skinned taproot. The name Scorzonera derives from the Italian scorza (bark) and nera (black). As we might be able to guess from its yellow flowers, the plant belongs to the Asteraceae family.
Just like the root, the leaves are edible and so are the flowers before they open, like small broccolis. The white fleshed root may be harvested during the first or second year. To develop up its full potential, the plant needs to grow in a soil deep enough.
If you let it overwinter in the ground, even here in Quebec, the plant will produce flowers the following year. Once they are ripe, it will be time for you to harvest the seeds, but beware : birds, and especially goldfinch, love them!
Black salsify is rich in carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins.
