I grew Amaranthus for the first time this year, and I really love it! I have harvested the seeds from a couple of the varieties, but had to go out of state before a couple more looked ready. While I was gone, we had a week of very cold temps, down into the low 20s and upper teens at night. Is it too late to harvest the seeds now that they have been frozen? Yes, I could harvest them and hope for the best, but it is a labor intensive job, and if there is no chance of them being good, I'd rather purchase seeds again and hope for better luck next year. We are putting in a food plot for the birds, and I planned on including plenty of amaranthus in the plot. It will be about an acre, so I'm really hopeful that the seeds are still good!

Thanks for any help!
Natalie
