Bonjour, cousins!

Thanks for the Louis Hebert Cliff's Notes!

For some of us, a translation of the comments of Champlain might be in order:

Champlain speaks of the work of Louis Hebert in Quebec: "I visited the sites, and found the land cultivated, planted, filled with good wheat; the gardens filled with plants of all sorts: cabbage, radish, lettuce; purslane, sorrel, parsley and other herbs; pumpkins, cucumbers, melons, peas, beans and other vegetables quite as good and just as ripe as in France."

Fr John L. Sullivan

A fine day and evening to all!

Some notes on Louis...

Champlain parle du travail de Louis Hébert à Québec: «Je visitai les lieux,
les labourages des terres que je trouvai ensemencées et chargées de beaux
blés, les jardins chargés de toutes sortes d'herbes, comme des choux, raves,
laitues, pourpier, oseille, persil et autres herbes, citrouilles,
concombres, melons, pois, fèves, et autres légumes aussi beaux et avancés qu
'en France.»
