Globe Amaranth Harvest

The Globe Amaranth is Looking Good! I grew a variety of colors this year~ maybe I'll just sell them as "mixed bunches" Much easier than having to separate them:)


As I was picking these tonight, 6 large male turkey's came out of the field and were walking around the yard. Here they are in this top picture. Guess they aren't threatened by me being out here!



These Globe Amaranth are going to be used for potpourri, the rest I'll bunch & hang to dry.

    Hi Laurie~
    When I was in the garden tonight a hummingbird was buzzing by me head and a baby bunny was just a few feet away in the grass plus these wild turkeys came walking past the garden~ All at the same time and there I was in the middle of Heaven :)
    Thanks for letting me share~

    Your Globe Amaranth is beautiful, they will look so pretty in your handmade potpourri.
    It's nice to be able to be so close to nature and to enjoy and marvel at God's creations.
