Good to hear about all your experiments. Something is eating the Amaranth that I was growing for grain. Don’t know what. It’s almost microscopic, not aphids, looks kinda like a little worm less than a 16th of an inch long. Kinda dark gray.

It’s not on the leaf amaranth yet as it has lots of peanut plants in between, so it’s kinda like a “catch” plant. I’ll be planning on something different to do with amaranth next year. Long gloomy winter days are great for research.

Well, whenever you learn something about the amaranth, please share! I’m just hoping that mine will make a seed head so I can at least sort of guess what a mature one looks like.

I haven’t seen any little tinies like you are describing. Maybe I should get my magnifying glass out there and take a peek.
