MICROGREENS AMARANTH Microgreens growing instructions: Here are the basics: Cover the bottom of the container with an inch or two of moistened potting soil/mix or coir. Flatten and level it with your hand or a small piece of cardboard, taking care not to over-compress the soil. Scatter seeds evenly on top of the soil. Press gently into the soil using your hand or the cardboard. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Dampen the surface with a mister. If you prefer, you can skip this step and instead cover the container with a clear lid or plastic wrap until the seeds are sprouted. While waiting for sprouts to appear, usually within three to seven days, use the mister once or twice daily to keep the soil moist but not wet. Once seeds have sprouted, remove the cover (if you've used one) and continue to mist once or twice a day. Microgreens need about four hours daily of direct sunlight to thrive (south facing window). In winter months, some may need even more. Leggy, pale greens are a sign of not enough sunlight. Light needs can also be satisfied with a grow light that has a low heat output — you don't want to scorch your delicate greens. Microgreens will be ready to harvest about two to three weeks after planting. Look for the first set of "true leaves" as a sign of readiness. Then grab your scissors and snip the greens just above the soil line. EDIBLE? Can you eat Love Lies Bleeding amaranth? The English call it Love-Lies-Bleeding. It can be grown for its leaves or for its seeds, both of which are edible. Amaranthus leaves, eaten young (lightly boiled, with a knob of butter added) are similar to spinach. Amaranthus caudatus is a plant that is known under many names, in the West Indies it is often referred to as Callaloo, but it has other names such as Laf Sag, Lalshank, and Tangerio. The English call it Love-Lies-Bleeding. It can be grown for its leaves or for its seeds, both of which are edible. Amaranthus leaves, eaten young (lightly boiled, with a knob of butter added) are similar to spinach. In Jamaica, callaloo is often combined with saltfish and is usually seasoned with tomatoes, onion, escallion, scotch bonnet peppers and margarine/cooking oil and steamed. It is often eaten with roasted breadfruit, boiled green bananas and dumplings and it is a popular breakfast dish. In Grenada, callaloo is steamed with garlic, onion and coconut milk and often eaten as a side dish. Grenadians also stir or blend the mixture until it has a smooth consistent texture. Callaloo soup comprising callaloo, okra (optional), dumplings, ground provision like yam, potato (sweet and “Irish”) chicken and beef is traditionally eaten on Saturdays. Cut plants when 4-6 inches tall, leaving 1-1/2 inches of stem with a couple of basal leaves to ensure regrowth. Or harvest whole young plants when 8-10 inches tall, about six to eight weeks after direct sowing. While plants are still young, pinch back shoot tips to promote denser growth. For the longest season of the choicest leaves, remove flower clusters and resow seed every two weeks. Amaranth often will reseed itself. In the landscape, amaranth looks good over a long period, becoming more colorful as the season goes on. The leaves and shoots taste like a combination of spinach and artichoke with a hint of sourness. Stir-fry leaves and tender stems with garlic or sauté with a little mint as is done in Southeast Asia. HOW TO GROW AMARANTH FROM SEED WHEN TO PLANT AMARANTH SEEDS Amaranth can be planted inside or outside in the Spring, but we’d recommend starting the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost. If you decide to plant outside, wait until the soil is warm. Germination is best when soil is above 65 degrees. The seed is very small; to facilitate planting, mix it with some sand, moisten and let sit for 24 hours in a warm, unlit room before direct sowing. Amaranth needs full sun and can be grown in almost any well-drained soil besides dense clay. HOW TO PLANT AMARANTH SEEDS Plant your seeds about 10-12 inches apart and cover lightly with soil. They will germinate within 3-4 days if the temperatures are between 60-90 degrees F. When moving your seeds outside, sow them 1.5 to 2 feet apart. Amaranth is drought and heat resistant, so it is only necessary to water once or twice a week during dry periods. For taller plants, add fertilizer once or twice a year or add compost. Amaranth grows between 4 and 6 feet tall but with particularly rich soil with plenty of nitrogen and phosphorous, the plants can get to around 8 feet! HOW TO HARVEST AMARANTH Amaranth will flower until the first hard frost, so there will be plenty of seeds to harvest! Seeds from the flowers are usually ready for harvest after 3 months. To harvest, shake the flower heads and catch the falling seeds. Please print the planting instructions. Your success and happiness is our success and happiness! WE SHIP FAST &FREE!
