Growing Amaranth
In article , says...
Has anyone tried growing Amaranth grain in your back yard? I'd be interested
to hear your thoughts.

Not yet, but we will be in late May.

We have a good soil, but our growing season in zone 5 in SW Ontario
might be marginal for maturation.
If it works and we like it, I might try to pick up a garden allotment or
two to let us expand our options next year and maybe try quinoa.
