I must of grown grain amaranth this year then for my plants had no sharp
briers. I broadcast a half package of 'Arrowmills'? organic amaranth seed
(sold to be used as grain for cooking and eating). I broadcast these over my
squash patch. The amaranth grew to about six feet tall throughout the
squash. It was a beautiful sight of two plants growing in harmony. There is
a picture of my garden on my web site:
