At a Seed Festival, I sat next to a friendly-looking old man. Soon we started discussing seeds and commenting on our purchases and finds! This is how a beautiful friendship was born that lasted more than ten years. Terre Promise was only in its infancy, and very quickly Jean-Leo Collard embarked on the project by tinkering with us an incalculable number of tools and machines specific to seed cleaning and bagging. He marveled at the generous harvests of the farm, he loved to talk about gardening and above all, he took me to eat at his favorite restaurant, Chez Willinsky. Jean reassured me in the darkest moments, when it's difficult to be an entrepreneur and I wanted to screw everything up... He believed in the Promised Land. Jean left us this fall 2021 at the end of a full life. In his honor, we decided to name a variety of beans developed on the farm for a few years, a mixture of the dwarf bean Velor and an unknown climbing bean. The Jean Léo Collard climbing bean has a beautiful deep purple color, sometimes mottled with green. It is cordless, quite long and very thin, crunchy to the bite. We are very proud of it! Thank you Jean for your unconditional support and friendship. Garden in peace.

MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Request a tutor.

These giants won’t go unnoticed in your garden!

Indeed, mammoth sunflowers can grow over 3m in height, and they produce gorgeous yellow flowers that can reach more than 30 cm in diameter.
Despite their height, they do not require any tutoring. They can however be a tutor themselves for your other climbing plants such as beans!
Thanks to their fast growth, these sunflowers can also create seasonal plant walls, hedgerows and windbreaks.
The seeds are rich and can be enjoyed by birds as much as by humans!

CARE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS : Towards the end of September, sunflower seeds start to reach maturity. The stem dries up and the flower starts to bend down. It’s time to harvest! Cut the entire flower heads. Let them dry in a dry space. Check regularly to make sure the sunflowers are not getting moldy. After a few days, the seeds will sound ‘hollow’ and ‘dry’ when running your fingers over them. You then only need to rub over to remove what’s left of the flowers, and scratch with your fingers to detach the seeds.

Also known as Red Perilla, Purple Shiso is a plant native to East Asia, prized for its aromatic leaves and its multiple culinary and medicinal uses. Its purple or reddish leaves, sometimes tinged with green, emit a characteristic fragrance, both minty, spicy, and slightly citrusy. Used in many Asian cuisines, such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisine, purple shiso is often used fresh as a garnish, wrapped around sushi, or finely chopped in salads and stir-fried dishes.

Note: Shiso seeds can be challenging to germinate. Performing a brief stratification followed by soaking the seeds for 24 hours before sowing will greatly aid in the process. Refer to the document "The Key to Germination: STRATIFICATION" in the Blog menu for more information on this topic.

Easy to grow in temperate climates, purple shiso is an annual plant that thrives in well-drained and sunny soil. Cultivated from seeds, it is commonly planted in vegetable gardens or used as an ornamental plant for its decorative leaves and pleasant fragrance.

MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
If you want to harvest seeds for the following season, it is preferable to leave it early enough for indoor sowing to allow it to complete its cycle.

Cette tomate fût développée en 1975 par l'agronome Roger Doucet à la station de recherche agricole de Saint-Hyacinthe. Elle produit des fruits roses, ronds et de grosseur moyenne. Elle fût créée pour satisfaire aux conditions climatiques de nos régions. Elle est donc précoce, productive, et relativement compacte malgré qu'elle soit à croissance indéterminée.
