Because we all had a grandmother who made rhubarb jam for us... An easy-to-grow perennial, this plant is perfect for lovers of "Guerilla Gardening". You wait for nightfall, then you discreetly plant a rhubarb seedling in a flower bed in plain view of the city. Small insignificant growth, it will go unnoticed. Then within a year or two, it will keep producing everlasting leaves with delicious stems and will be too healthy (you'll see to that) for the city to eliminate. Then you will then provide your grandmother with a stem that she will then return to you in a Mason jar, in the form of jam. Isn't it beautiful, the eternal cycle of nature?
BOTANICAL INFORMATION
Latin name: Rheum rhabarbarum
Common names: Garden rhubarb
English: RhubarbFamily Polygonaceae
MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Requires little care once implanted. Consider cutting the flower stalk to encourage leaf development. Direct seeding offers a lower germination rate than indoor seeding.

Nathalie variety Before the introduction of cotton and synthetic fibers, linen occupied a very important place in Quebec households of yesteryear. It was used everywhere, from bedsheets to stockings! And even before that, this plant has quite a story! Linen was probably the first vegetable fiber to be woven. It would have first been domesticated in the region of the Fertile Crescent. Remains dating back 36,000 years have been found in a cave in Georgia. It was also a favorite textile in ancient Egypt. The fiber yields a supple, light, absorbent, heat-regulating and durable fabric, which explains its popularity. The plant is easy to grow and its blue flowers are attractively delicate. The fibers are found at the heart of the stem, and are extracted by a controlled decomposition process called retting.

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.
