Amaranth just in for today's cookin'. (Of course, the pineapple, bananas and avocados in the picture are also from the garden ... makes me wonder about @catjac1975 and her sunroom .)
This was the ornamental amaranth that I grew last year after checking online about it being suitable for the dinner table. I think that I will just try to forget about the "ornamental" status. Sure, it's pretty. If it could handle shade, I could transplant some today beside the driveway where some gomphrena is struggling.
That would be a poor choice, anyway . There was room for the silly gomphrena. These purple things will grow to be HUGE. I would not be able to climb outta the pickup! Harvesting as a veggie has to with the knowledge that they will get away from me with growing if'n I don't pay attention.
