made some progress over the weekend on #amaranth companion

the code in the blocks now gets executed and the number of input and output sockets changes accordingly

First amaranth leaf salad of the year. Amaranth is an underrated salad 'greens' (reds) plant in areas too hot for lettuce for much of the year.

We leave most of the grains for the chickens and as seeds for the following year.

Last year, we watered two plants, the rest had to fend for themselves. Those two grew to over 6 feet and got so top heavy they had to be tied down.

Phytomulse Amaranth is a new emulsifier for me and I'm already impressed! 😃I used it in the Blue Watermelon Renewal Cream formula. Check it out at the site.
