Grain amaranth is a really useful thing to grow through drought. I watered in the young plants when transplanted to final position and a second time a week later, but not since.

It's not invasive in the UK like it is some places. The seeds are a mini version of quinoa (same family). The leaves are edible like spinach too. If you choose a supplier like Real Seeds who grow plants acclimatised to Wales you'll get a good early seed crop.
