  1. First amaranth leaf salad of the year. Amaranth is an underrated salad 'greens' (reds) plant in areas too hot for lettuce for much of the year.

    We leave most of the grains for the chickens and as seeds for the following year.

    Last year, we watered two plants, the rest had to fend for themselves. Those two grew to over 6 feet and got so top heavy they had to be tied down.

  2. Phytomulse Amaranth is a new emulsifier for me and I'm already impressed! 😃I used it in the Blue Watermelon Renewal Cream formula. Check it out at the site.

  3. Small update announcement for the @icepi-zero-bot (that you might have noticed already):

    • The bot now reports details about utilization and clock speeds together with the video in the success post.
    • You can split your code into multiple messages if your instance has a low character limit for direct messages (see the bot's description for more details).

    For the future, I plan to:

    • Add support for more HDLs (tell me your favorite ones and I try to integrate them).
    • Support for outputting text via UART, that the host will capture and include in the success post.

    If you have any other ideas/wishes, feel free to tell me :D

  4. Problems you like to have (California edition, 😃).

    We have expanded using amaranth leaves as a substitute for spinach and lettuce during the hot months, i.e. most of the year.

    As for other veggies, small leaves make great salad, bigger and tougher ones are great cooked.

    21 Garden Plants to Use as Natural Dyes

    You’ve heard of vegetable and cut flower gardens, but what about dye gardens? Dying yarn and fabrics with plant-based dyes allows you to create beautiful hues and develop a new appreciation for plants. If you’re not sure where to get started, join Briana Yablonski to learn 21 plants you can use as natural dyes.

    "very so often, a new question strikes me. A few years ago, I found myself wondering how people transformed neutral-colored wool, cotton, and silk into shades of pink, blue, and yellow. I knew I could find synthetic dyes in tie-dye kits and commercial clothing factories, but I wondered how people colored their clothing, rugs, and linens before these products existed. Amazingly, many natural plant dyes can be grown right in our home gardens!

    While not all natural dyes come from plants, there are more than a handful of flowers, leaves, and fruit that offer beautiful colors. Since dyeing is a chemical process strongly affected by pH, adding materials like soda and citric acid allows you to use one dye source to create multiple colors.

    You’re welcome to experiment with natural plant dyes of any species, but some plants are known to produce particularly vibrant colors. Try dyeing with a few of the following plants to see the range of colors the botanical world offers."

  6. My mom gave me this plant, which I know as gomphrena. It’s one of the few plants in our yard that has the energy to flower in this intense #zone10 heat. When I found out it’s also called globe amaranth, it all made sense. #Amaranth grows really well here in the summer. It’s just that the types we’ve grown bear no resemblance to gomphrena, so I was surprised to learn they are related. I’ve already collected seeds from this one. It’s not native, but it’s still a keeper. #Bloomscrolling #gardening

    Klingt interessant, weil ich aus Ernährungsoptimierungsgründen dazu übergegangen bin, mir oft Olivenöl anstatt anstatt Butter aufs Brot zu tun...

    Funktioniert es dafür auch?

    Die Herstellung von #PuffedAmaranth scheint jedoch ein bisschen ein Gefrickel zu sein:
