While harvesting dried okra pods for seed, Julia noticed how striking Golden Red Amaranth looks standing tall next to Hill Country Red Okra, and offered to stand with them for scale. This is her last week for the year in terms of her seed keeping apprenticeship! So grateful for her wisdom and plant love and curiosity! Thank you Julia! #goldenredamaranth #hillcountryredokra #seedkeeping #seedkeepingapprenticeship @cryptogam_ https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wL209gkWF/?igshid=1p170n5pzr1zu

Golden Red Amaranth laid out to dry on a row that I'm solarizing. The weather looks hot and dry for the next couple days so I'm going to risk having it exposed like this. The seed came from my friend Miguel, who grew Golden Amaranth on one side of his house (in Taos), and Hopi Red on the other, and this cross happened. It's very beautiful, especially in its prime! Crossing fingers that no precipitation or dew causes rot! #goldenamaranth #hopiredamaranth #goldenredamaranth #seedsaving #seedkeeping #amaranth #amaranthseeds (at Delaware County, Pennsylvania)
