Le topinambour blanc à fuseau  ressemble fortement au tubercule régulier. Sa particularité tient à sa forme allongée et à sa couleur claire. Cette légumineuse indigène gagne à être connue pour son parfum savoureux proche de l'artichaut. Sa floraison très longue et abondante ne gâche rien à l'affaire !

Il était au menu des peuples amérindiens et a été introduit en France au début du XVII ^e  siècle sous le nom de « truffe du Canada » en raison de la forme de son tubercule. Le fait qu'il soit vivace et qu'il exige peu de soin en a fait une ressource alimentaire fiable durant les Guerres mondiales du début du XX ^e  siècle.

Des tubercules à planter en automne ou au printemps. Parce que les tubercules de topinambour ne passent pas toujours bien l'hiver en entreposage, plusieurs préfèrent mettre en terre cette plante vivace en automne.

Sa culture est facile. Très rustique, il s'adapte à tous les types de sols bien drainés, se cultive au soleil et croît rapidement. Il faut s'en méfier : il peut être envahissant. Chaque tubercule oublié poussera l'année suivante. En fleurs, il culmine à plus de 2 mètres. Il faudra leur tuteurer en zone de grands vents

La récolte se fait tard en octobre, car le goût des tubercules s'améliore avec l'arrivée du froid. Notez que les tubercules sont sensibles au gel lorsqu'ils sont hors terre.

Il se consomme traditionnellement frit, en purée, en vinaigrette ou à la crème, mais aussi en marinade et en lactofermentation.

Plantation : au printemps ou à l'automne
Profondeur de plantation : 10 cm
Espacement des plants: 60 cm
Espacement des rangs (sans interligne): 75 cm

Plantez dès la réception ou conservez les racines au réfrigérateur en attendant la plantation.

• Durable and easy to use, both indoors and outdoors.
• For moisture measurement, insert three-quarters of the probe length into the soil.
• Moisture measurement is recorded on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being dry soil and 10 being wet soil.
• Three color zones help you interpret the result, depending on whether the plant prefers rather dry or rather moist soils.
• To measure light, place the light sensor near the plant, pointing it towards the light source.
• A reading between 0 and 500 indicates low brightness while a reading between 700 and 2000 indicates the presence of high brightness.

Known as the potato onion, this traditional group of onions forms clumps of bulbs, somewhat like a nest of small potatoes at the base of the foliage. Long cultivated in family vegetable gardens in cooler climates, it has maintained a reputation as a reliable plant, easy to maintain and replant year after year.

In the garden, the potato onion offers hollow, bluish-green foliage reminiscent of the common onion. The bulbs divide into several cloves that are replanted, in an almost circular process where the harvest nourishes the next cycle. It naturally finds its place in a vibrant and diverse garden, along the edge of a bed or in a quiet corner of the vegetable patch, where it accompanies other vegetables in a patient and deeply rooted relationship with nature.

The SMART POT is the original geotextile container! Also perfect for planting trees and shrubs that you can transplant elsewhere in a few years.

See the " Choosing the right format " guide.

Smart Pots technology lies in the porosity of the material, a thick geotextile that ensures optimal root development and therefore plant growth. Smart Pots promote excellent root development because the fabric allows for aeration of the potting soil and the root system, a fundamental principle of gardening. Aeration prevents root spiraling, which hinders healthy plant growth. Furthermore, air circulation prevents overheating, which is harmful to roots and soil microorganisms.

Smart Pots are simple to use and easy to clean. They are washable and collapsible for storage. They are made of lightweight and durable material (7 to 10 years). They are unbreakable.

You can add a saucer (to prevent water from running out) or raise the Smart Pots slightly off the ground (on wooden slats for example) to ensure greater aeration for the plants.

See the " Choosing the right format " guide.
You will find information on the volume of substrate (potting soil and compost) and the number of plants that can be planted in each Smart Pot size.

Native to Eastern Europe and Western Asia, horseradish ( Armoracia rusticana ) has long been a staple in peasant kitchens and herb gardens. This tall perennial, belonging to the Brassicaceae family, develops a fleshy, deeply rooted rhizome from which long, green, veined leaves emerge each year, quickly establishing a prominent presence in the garden's edible corner.

In the organic garden, horseradish establishes itself as a reliable plant: once well-established in welcoming soil, it faithfully returns season after season. Its small white flowers, clustered in delicate panicles, add a subtle touch to the garden's cycle and attract various insects. Its pungent and aromatic root finds its place in the kitchen as a living condiment, linking the age-old practice of autumn harvesting to the everyday pleasures of a simple and flavorful meal.

White glazed stoneware dish. Polypropylene germination grid. Phthalate and BPA free.

When in contact with water, the seeds of basil, arugula, cress, flax, yellow and white mustard, chia, perilla, purslane, and camelina develop a gelatinous substance: mucilage. This mucilage makes them unsuitable for germination in a standard sprouting tray and necessitates the use of a germination tray. The result is beautiful, upright, bright green, and crisp sprouts.
