Amaranth (Callaloo)

Scatter tiny seeds on the soil surface or press in no deeper than 1/8 inch, and keep moist until germination; thin to 6–12 inches once seedlings are established. Vegetable amaranth thrives in heat and is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, making it a reliable summer green when spinach has bolted. Harvest young leaves and shoot tips continuously from 30 days onward; regular harvesting delays flowering and extends the harvest window. Leaves are best cooked briefly — sautéed, steamed, or simmered in soups — and are rich in iron and calcium. Спосіб посадки: Посів у відкритий ґрунт Відстань між рослинами: 6–12 дюймів Висота: 18–48 дюймів Дні до схожості: 5–10 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 18–29°C
