I picked some cilantro today, so wanted to find out how to preserve it. I found a lot of sites on drying herbs. Here’s one.

Then I found a web page on curing daffodils to replant in the fall. It may be too late this year, but I should do that, because the ones in the front yard have never been separated since I can remember them when I was little.

Then I wondered what to do with my amaranth. I think I read that the leaves are edible. But mainly, they’re raised for their seeds. I have too many growing in my Square Foot Garden, and should transplant some, maybe to the dead end. They’re supposed to be pretty.

I do have some quinoa which I could have tried to grow this year, but couldn’t find. Maybe next year.

Here’s a page I found on harvesting quinoa and amaranth, which are both very nutritious.

I may use this post to add more later. It’s one thing to grow stuff, and another to know what to do with it once it’s ready to harvest. One good site I found (even though it isn’t organic) is this one.
