In 1995, a bag of 200 seeds was discovered in the attic of a house that had been abandoned for several years in Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce, by a carpenter making repairs. Neighbors said there hadn't been a vegetable garden at this address for over 60 years. Mr. Gérard Parent, to whom they were given, tried to grow them, but only three germinated. From these plants come all the Mémés de Beauce known in Quebec.

MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions about 10 days before planting by taking them out during the day. Lay the plants horizontally, slightly arching the plant to bring the leaves out.

Indispensable in the garden, thyme is an aromatic originating from Eurasia. Robust perennial, essential among the ''herbes de provence'', melliferous, this pretty plant has many virtues. The Egyptians and the Etruscans used thyme mixed with ointments to embalm their dead. The Greeks burned it in front of altars and homes because they attributed purifying properties to it. In the language of flowers, it is a symbol of courage, lasting love, the spirit of creativity, dynamism and physical resistance. All you have to do is plant it! In herbal tea, accompanied by lemon, it is a miracle remedy for small respiratory infections. Thyme also has stimulating, disinfectant, expectorant, digestive and many other properties, which makes it an excellent winter ally.

🌱 8 Pawpaw Seeds – Cold-Hardy Fruit Tree from Quebec

The pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is a unique fruit adapted to northern climates. Cultivated in Quebec and southern Ontario for centuries, this tree was cherished by Indigenous peoples long before European settlers arrived.

Similar in size to a mango, the pawpaw offers a delightful blend of banana, mango, pineapple, and cantaloupe flavors. Once known as the "poor man's banana" when imported bananas became popular, this rare fruit is actually a hidden gem! Enjoy it fresh or mixed with dairy for a creamy milkshake.


Once ripe, pawpaws last only a few days, making them difficult to commercialize. Grow your own and savor this exclusive fruit that few get to taste!

Depending on the variety sown, your sunflower plants will bear a single large flower or several small ones.;Small varieties and very large varieties in a mixture.*The varieties included are subject to change

CARE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: By the end of September, sunflower seeds are ripening. The stem dries up and the flowers bow their heads. It's time to harvest. Cut off the whole heads. They must then be dried in a dry place. Check often that the sunflower does not rot. After a few days, the seeds will sound "hollow" and "dry" when you run your fingernail over them. You just have to rub to remove the rest of the flowers, and scrape with your fingers to loosen the seeds.
