Amaranth September 8, 2019

Amaranth is a grain.  It has been cultivated for thousands of years.  And it is very pretty.  I have found over the several years that I have been growing it, that it's better to sow it in the summer rather than the spring.  The bugs in spring absolutely love it, and the leaves ends up looking like ratty swiss cheese.  But by the end of spring, those bugs seem to have disappeared, and amaranth's growth is much prettier and bug-free.
