Amaranth

The garden has suffered from the snow last week. The tall crops – silverbeet, amaranth broad beans and asparagus are all pressed down. I think they’ll recover though. With all of the cold weather, the yams have completely died off and the silverbeet is a bit frosted. The amaranth was feeling pretty slimy also, I had planned to harvest the seed heads and take them in for drying, but ended up throwing them in the tree run as they were looking pretty sad. Also, I think many of the seeds had come out already and the birds had eaten many of them. It’s supposed to snow again tomorrow….
