What a beautiful post on Amaranth! I didn't know amaranth has such a rich and interesting history. Always learning new things here :). Thank you for taking your time to make this post and dedicating your gratitude and good intentions to amaranth and all the gifts it shares with us.
I love amaranth as well and admire how quickly they volunteer everywhere in our gardens, bringing in birds and beneficial insects, adding color and beauty to the garden with their red, pink, and golden plumes, and offering such abundant sustenance. I especially enjoy thinning them when they are young and eating them in salads and stir fries too!
Thank you!
I love what you say about amaranth: you clearly have a relationship with it and know its benefits! The more of us that do, and can speak encouragingly for others to grow these plants That Are Easy to Grow, the faster amaranth can take root as a well known crop here (#permaculturevisions) ;) XO
Good point! I like the idea of being allies to plants as they are to us!
