Amaranth is an ancient grain- leaves are good as a spinach substitute, seeds can be harvested in the fall and eaten like quinoa.

I'm intrigued! That sounds like a really versatile option. Will look into amaranth seeds. Thank you!

"Hrethmonath, 'rough month,' " I like that. Erin, I enjoyed your article. Hey are there any special things that you are planting this year? What have you got going for seedlings now?

Thank you for reading, Britt-- I know it was a long read this time around. I haven't started any seeds yet, have to clean out the basement area where we do the growing. I'll post soon on what we're planting!
