Cats like to eat grasses: in addition to containing several vitamins, folic acid and fiber, the grass helps to purge their system and evacuate the hairs that they swallow by licking their coat. And best of all...they leave your precious plants alone during this time.
Plant at any time of year in a small, well-moistened pot.

Psssst: It's important to note that oatmeal for cats differs from catnip, which is a separate plant in the mint family and often causes a euphoric reaction in cats. We also sell catnip!

Hopi Black Dye sunflowers grow tall and strong, and their flower have sunny yellow petals with a dark purple center. This sunflower variety comes from the Hopi, a Native American tribe, who used it for dyeing. They used it to create grey and purples hues on their basketry and textiles, like cotton and wool. The seeds are edible for humans and birds, and are rich and easy to shell.

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.

These giants won’t go unnoticed in your garden!

The seeds are rich and can be enjoyed by birds as much as by humans!

Cucurbita Maxima

This heirloom variety is originally from France. It is sometimes also called "French turban" or "Giraumon" in French. References to this squash are found in documents as old as 1885, but it is older than the 1820s. This squash is adorned by a very typical orange, white and green bump. Described as an ornamental squash, it is nonetheless delicious in soups or roasts. Its orange flesh is especially sweet.

Sometimes mixes happen on a seed farm. That's what happened one day in spring, when we planted our Moroccan Cressonnette lettuce seeds, grown the previous year. A lettuce had much "plumper" leaves than the watercress, in addition to being very large and having very light and crisp foliage. We collected the seeds and for a few years we selected this fortuitous mixture. We named it Grosse Dodue in reference to its foliage but also because the Grosse Lazy Blonde lettuce grew not far from there. It was perhaps with her that the love story began... In short, Grosse plump is therefore totally Quebecois, new and delicious. Try it!

Brunswick cabbage is a very old variety originating from Germany and mentioned as early as 1800. Late and short-stalked, it produces a very large soft green head, which can reach 30 to 40 cm, with a slightly flattened shape on the top, at the crunchy texture. We had huge specimens! It is an ideal cabbage for making sauerkraut. In addition, it has a long shelf life in cold storage. It is also called “Early Flat Dutch”, “from Boston” and “Early Drumhead”.
