Some Growing Tips: – You can cover 100+ sqft of garden beds with these 10 grams of seeds, so do not over-seed unless you want to harvest lots of baby greens. – prepare garden bed with well drained fertile soil with lots of organic matters; turn/till the soil at least 4″ deep – ideal sowing time is from mid spring to mid summer (in Chicago zone 5B, it would be early May to mid August), note amaranth prefers high heat and high humidity – prefer full sun, or partial shade in hot summer / scorching heat areas. – sow the seeds directly into your garden plot (broadcast or in rows 4″ apart), – spread the seeds over 100 sqft area, then cover the seeds with 1/4″ fine soil. – keep the soil moist (but not soggy) for about a week and the seeds will germinate quickly when daytime temperature is above 70F. – for green thumbs, you can cover the soil surface with clear poly for 2-4 days, as the poly will retain heat & moisture, hence speed up the germination dramatically. – to extend your veggie harvest, consider sow just half the seeds initially, and sow the other half couple weeks later. – amaranth & gailan can be harvested by cutting the stem right above the first or second “branch”, allowing new shoots will emerge, second harvest possible in another 2-4 weeks – if too crowded after 3rd week, thin out the crowded areas and enjoy them as baby greens – if worms & insects are feasting on the greens, try spray neem oil mix once a week, avoid using chemical pesticides if all possible. – the harvest sequence is roughly Yu Choi, Amaranth, Dwarf Canton Pak Choi, Shanghai Pak Choi, and lastly Gailan – make efficient use of the veggie beds by planting three crops for the whole growing season: spring mix, summer mix and autumn mix – happy with the harvest? please send us pictures and we will be glad to use them on future listings (with your permission of course)
