7000+ 7-gram 1/4-oz Edible Amaranth Green Leaf Seeds;白莧菜 heirloom non-GMOThis heirloom Chinese/Taiwan variety is a staple food in many Asian cultures, super easy to grow. Some growing tips:• Prepare the veggie bed with lots of organic matters such as compost, work the soil at least 4" deep, 6" would be even better. • Do not sow too early in the spring! Direct sowing when overnight low is above 50F, or 2-4 weeks after the last frost. Amaranth loves heat, sun & humidity. Here in SW Chicago burb zone 5B, I sown the seeds around May 20th and last pic showing harvest around late June. • Do not over-seed, as 7 grams of seeds (~7,000) can cover 200-400 sqft area easily • Used phased approach, cultivate a subplot every two weeks, to continue the harvest throughout the summer • Cover the seeds with 1/4” fine soil; ready to harvest in just 35 to 45 days. • Water in the morning rather than in the evening, as caterpillars and slugs love the moisture • If too many seedlings, thin out the crowded area and eat them as stir fried baby greens, make soup, or add them to ramen noodles. $3.95 S&H via USPS First Class with Tracking Number, combined multiple items & save!
