"Magenta Spreen" lambsquarters





I felt a little silly ordering seeds for something that's basically a weed, but it is pretty.  I can't wait for it to get a little larger, so I can try it in a salad.  You can also cook it like spinach.  In my last garden, a similar plant that lacked the magenta center grew wild as a weed, but it wasn't in my new garden.  It's in the same family as quinoa, amaranth and spinach.
