i fell in love with the look of amaranth several summers ago (love-lies-bleeding, specifically) and when i found out the seeds were edible, i got extra excited! i got a small amount once and they just didn't go anywhere, but they also may have drowned in the rainy springs we have here. i am definitely going to try them again once we designate a space for grains/seeds.

Ah yes, I love that cultivar! Such beautiful fuchsia color! They are pretty easy to grow if you get some seeds to take and then if you let those go to seed and let the birds carry them where they will, you won't have to worry about next year's crop ;) (what happened for us!). Good luck!
seed saving is a big goal of mine for this year - one, to prove that i can do it (LOL) and two, to save a little cash. i've gotten really successful at saving coriander seeds; it's one of my favourites!!
