Amaranth Seed Collecting 3 of 3 videos
Amaranth in Tony’s Garden (pics):
Amaranth Seedlings (left of sunflower). Note how thin and frail they are in comparison with the also very young sunflower seedling.
Young amaranth plant. Note the structurally supportive leaf veins.
Amaranth stalk overwintering in Norwegian Hill Basket. This stalk was thrown into this veggie bed for the winter; perhaps some young plants will emerge in the spring. An experiment!
Tony’s Last Amaranth Seed Harvest:
The stalk-hanger drying tripod was moved into the shop a week ago, to eek out the last of the amaranth plant’s seeds. The father plant is just outside the window, growing alongside Birdbath Beach.
Mom’s chair oversees the amaranth seed harvest. As she, Ann, would say, "This place is the cat's meow!"
Happy seed collecting and see you tomorrow. Good night, Mom.
