RE: The Amazing Circularity of Growing Your Own Food | A HiveGarden Journal Entry

So true - it starts with a seed and ends with a seed, or rather a gazillion seeds. I'm curious about your amaranth. Don't you have the purple one? I assumed it was always purple. I bought buchu many years ago and there was a tiny purple weed in the pot. I left it. A few months later this gigantic towering amaranth stood in the herb garden....fast forward a few years and we have dozens of those purple "weeds" all over the homestead. Supports your theory 😉

I tried to grow them, but they never sprouted and the "green one" just took over. Maybe someday I will have it lucky and find some purple ones growing again!

Oh, I am again jealous! Sounds like my wild rocket fiasco and soon-to-be lamb's quarter one. What do they say, watch out for what you wish for because it might just come true. But I love to have too many salad greens growing.

I really want some of those purple "weeds"!
