Product Description
Tomahawk Lettuce
3,78 $
Light green lettuce of average size, with slightly wavy leaves. The plant is heat-tolerant and doesn’t bolt easily. Easy to grow and delicate despite the rather violent name, referring to the weapon used by some First Nation tribes.
This variety was gifted to us a few years ago by a French gardener, Jérôme, and is since a common sight in our gardens (the lettuce, not Jerome).

19th Century heirloom variety. Also called Golden Tennis Ball. It produces small heads with golden yellow leaves. Best for spring or fall garden. Summer heat causes this lettuce to bolt.
The ice plant comes from South Africa. Its foliage, which looks covered with frost or dew, is nicely tangy. The leaves can be eaten raw in salads or cooked in butter. Its tiny flowers are dainty and quite unique. Easy to grow, doesn't require much but will be killed by freezing temperatures.

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.

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 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/

When it comes to common purslane, saying "ancient vegetable" is an euphemism; purslane was known by the Egyptians 4000 years ago. It was then, like many other plants, "forgotten". It is nonetheless making a comeback on our market shelves thanks to market gardeners growing ancient varieties. In a salad or mesclun, purslane is eaten fresh. Its leaves are tender and filled with omega-3 and antioxidants. It is also emollient, detoxifying, diuretic, and laxative if eaten in large quantities. Chewing on a couple leaves will soothe gum inflammation and mild sore throats.

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.

This hardy perennial can decorate your garden as nicely as your salads, with its striking dark red veins. It is also great with sandwiches, omelettes, quiches, and most other egg-based dishes. Slightly more tangy than common sorrel, bloody dock is the first to show up in the spring.
