I took a leaf from Christy--see how beautiful her spray is against the colors of her house-- and created this bouquet from some of the growing things in the community garden.
In addition to marigolds and amaranth, there are a few late-planted sunflowers and zinnias hiding behind the melons and cucumbers in the 30th street garden. They'll need a few more weeks to maturity if all goes well.
Please harvest some amaranth. It is prime right now for both bouquets and eating. I'll be making Amaranth Soup (Sopa de Calabaza y Elote con Amaranto) next week, using both the leaves (selling for $9.00 lb. at the farmer's market) and seeds along with corn and squash.

Sandra, I love this bouquet, so colorful and happy. I can't wait to try the amaranth. I have read a million time about how good it is for you. This will be something new.
