Looks like everyone is starting something new for the first time. I must admit that's what I love about growing things... there is always something new, something untried. I have never grown amaranth before, apart from an ornamental - the thought of growing something so pretty and then being able to eat it - almost as good as sunflower seeds.

Exactly.  A friend out in the Plains states couldn't understand why I'd bother to place a seed order and asked, "Doesn't your local hardware store carry seeds? Ours does." Just not the same kind of gardening challenge.

For me its JAs and chard
