MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
"Each tuber can sprout and give rise to a plant. Place each tuber in a horizontal position, at a depth of about 2 cm, much like you would with a potato. (However, the crosne does not cut into several pieces like the latter). Leave 20 cm between each. You can mulch lightly, the stem will pass through a mulch. After a few days a stem will come out of the ground. Harvest: In the fall, when the leaves have faded, dig up the fork the tubers. A single tuber will give about thirty crosnes. You will have to dig up a little further than the place where you planted. Put back a single tuber in the same place in anticipation of next year's harvest. Mulch. Crosne withstands Quebec winters very well. Enjoy the rest raw or cooked in butter in a frying pan."

The Magnum Habanero is a pepper that ranks among the hottest peppers in the world, around 100,000 and 350,000 on the Scoville scale. With a beautiful bright orange, the Magnum Habanero is explosive in the mouth! However, it is really fragrant and is used as the main ingredient in several West Indian sauces. In Mexico, it is mainly used in salsas, as an accompaniment to dishes that are not very spicy. Variety in greenhouses and isolated by a fine net on the farm.

The Peach Sugar Rush is a pepper that was selected by Chris Fowler, finally stabilized in 2012, 8 years after its first tests. He had identified that the pink color was linked to high sugar levels and a very pronounced citrus taste. The result is really successful because this pepper is actually sweet, with notes of apricot, peach and lemon before it comes the hot. 50,000 to 100,000 on the Scoville scale, it sits below a Habanero. Ultra productive and delicious (for pepper lovers!) it didn't take less for it to become one of our favorites on the farm. Don't be surprised because its peach color takes a long time to show, it will have to wait until the end of the season, or let it ripen after picking. This does not prevent you from consuming it before! Variety isolated under greenhouse + net.

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.
