how to plant red amaranth?
red amaranth like warm weather as most of other plants
23-27 C (73-81 F) is the perfect temperature
for it to grow
it likes sun shine, moisture and fertilized soil
however if you have no way to reach the
above conditions, can you still plant it?
the answer is yes, you can
I started to plant red amaranth with seeds about 10 years ago
I started with a small piece of land
and I did not plant it any more in the following years
still I have plenty of red amaranth each year
everywhere in my garden
it grows with Chinese chives
because the seeds blow with the wind
to every corner of the garden
here I planted Edamame and garlic
however there are a lot of red amaranth mixed with them
it is too much in my garden
you can see them in each flower pot
this is a balcony on second floor
we are planting in bags and pots
Red amaranth grows in nearly every pot
and they grow again and again, non stop
always some new red amaranth pop up
after I pull the old one out
because there is plenty of sun shine and the soil is rich
they don't not stop pop up and grow
I recorded their growth for over a week
in order to make this video
film them every 2 or 3 days
you can see how fast they grow during a week
there is a bitter melon planted in this container
look, red amaranth are so happy to grow here
look at this pot, do you see what we are planting?
I have no idea,
I can only see red amaranth and purslane
it looks like we planted them here
red amaranth will have lots of seeds after growing for a while
no matter they are big or small
if you want to grow them again next year
you need to keep the seeds
I simply pull them out of the soil
since I have too many of them
if you don't have too much,
you can just cut the tender part of the plant
leave the roots and a part of branch in the soil
new leaves with new branch will grow from the old one
you can continue harvest them
there are many ways of cooking red amaranth
the most popular way is to make soup with it
or stir fry with garlic
I am showing a different way of cooking red amaranth
that is to make egg omelet with red amaranth
ingredients: 3 eggs, salt 1/2 tsp, pepper
add 120 g of chopped red amaranth
mix and let it sit for 15 minutes
so the water will come out a bit from red amaranth
cooking oil 1 tbsp
add one more tbsp of oil after flip over
it cooks so quick
