To separate tender seedlings, take a flattish bowl filled with water and add the clump you want to plant on. Each seedling can be shaken free with no root trauma

This is a plant that is used a lot in Mauritian cooking and was effectively a weed that power people could collect to add to their food reason. Now it is a vegetable that the diaspora will happily pay good money to get hold of abroad. It is one of my favourite “weeds” in my UK garden, I just wish that we had a longer growing season for them.

Enjoyed your video and subscribed. I appreciate your sharing your thoughts and creative expertise in using this plant for healthy eating. Do homestead animals eat this plant. Is amaranth as nutritious for animals and will they like it? If you can put into a video, I would watch. Thank you for your video.

Hello madam! Nice video. Can you please tell me what variety of amaranth seeds have you used and where did you buy the seeds? Is it available both in American and Indian stores?

@EasyPeasyGardening

5 ай бұрын

It is available everywhere. I used the seeds that I use in cooking from an Indian grocery store

Do you know if this can be grown from clippings? I got some long fresh stems from the grocery store right now. I’m soaking it with water to see if it roots like my Malabar spinach did. I am from the Caribbean too, and we call Malabar spinach callaloo. We don’t eat this plant, but I enjoy eating it in Jamaican meals.

Flowering means that plant is almost at the end of life. If the plant is otherwise healthy, prune it and use the leaves. Depending on the weather more leaves may grow

That's a tough one. I do not like to spray anything on the leafy vegetables. If it's only one or two plants affected, remove them and cover the planter in fine net. I know it's not a great solution but pesticides are not good either especially on leafy vegetables.
