The amaranth sounds interesting. I had looked it up on Wikipedia earlier. It certainly is a multipurpose plant, from the leaves to the seeds and the roots, with lots of healthy benefits.

Yeh, it was in one of my books on growing grains, and sounded like something worth trying. Just think, at one time it supported a whole civilization.

I just finished checking the weather for the next 10 days. Only 3 days of rain, days in the high 70’s, nights in the 50’s so no frost in sight! Great gardening weather, and we'll be able to eek out a few more crops.

I love this time of year for outdoor work.LOL.
