The plants will go to seed quickly. Almost from the time they are an inch or so high, seeds will begin to sprout. We also have some problem with the leaves being eaten. I used chemicals for that (my bad). We have been growing callaloo successfully for a few years here in West Michigan and I have not seen squirrels bother them. Maybe because we feed the wild birds and sunflowers seed is always available at our all night diner.
Thanks for the info...I have been trying to figure out with Amaranth plant it was!! Come spring we be planting!!!
I've read online that the seeds of the Amaranth plant are various colors. I've gotten seeds off of the callaloo plants in Jamaica .... the seeds I picked in Jamaica are very small, black seeds.
