Who is The Frenchie Gardener?
Patrick Vernuccio, known as "The Frenchie Gardener" on Instagram, has always lived in the city. 4 years ago, he embarked on his gardening adventure. He discovered the magic of planting a seed and was amazed to see it grow. He soon realized that it was possible to grow his own food on his balcony. Since then, he's been experimenting, testing new species and seeds. Today, he cultivates some thirty different varieties from his 5th-floor balcony, with abundant harvests. Thanks to his urban vegetable garden, he eats healthier, respects the cycle of the seasons and picks his vegetables directly from his balcony. He promotes biodiversity through the number of species he grows. He supports peasant agriculture by buying his seeds from Kokopelli.
What does this assortment consist of?
This variety of cherry tomato is one of the richest in vitamin C. It offers an abundance of small, round fruits with firm, sweet flesh. They keep very well.
The variety's name is inspired by its high content of the amino acid gamma butyric acid, known for its soothing effect.
This ancient, hardy, fast-growing variety produces wavy, light-green leaves tinged with reddish-brown, forming a tight-core head.
This old variety produces year-round, if you stagger sowing, half-long red roots with white tips and tender, crunchy flesh.
This very early radish will produce its first harvest just 2 or 3 weeks after sowing!
This variety produces very large, flat, slightly serrated green leaves.
This not very heat-sensitive variety reaches 80 cm in height and produces sturdy, upright stems bearing an abundance of double, coral-red flowers.
From spring to autumn, this variety offers orange and yellow flowers that are melliferous, tinctorial and have many medicinal virtues.
It is the best-known Calendula officinalis. The origin of the name "Calendula" comes from the fact that it flowers all year round, during the calendas (1st day of the month in Roman times) of each month.
