More of my homegrown red romaine #lettuce. I grow lettuces & some other #SaladGreens year-round here. Some are grown in my DIY greenhouse & others are grown under the deck, in Winter.

Silver #cockscomb - very similar to amaranth.
Originally native to #India - it was saved from extinction through #cultivation because of its religious significance. #Indian , #Burmese & #Chinese gardeners usually plant them by temples.

Cockscomb is an #EdiblePlant & a pretty #grain alternative. Often consumed in southern #Nigeria, #Benin , #Congo & #Indonesia. Young stems & flowers are #edible. Seeds are also edible are referred to as #pseudocereals.

Took a friend to the #JapaneseGardens in Esquimalt-Gorge Waterway Park. They'd never been there before & really enjoyed it 😊
