Choose a location: Select a sunny or partially shaded location with well-draining soil.
Prepare the soil: Work the soil with a garden fork or tiller to a depth of at least 6 inches. Remove any weeds, rocks, or other debris from the soil. Add organic matter, such as compost or aged manure, to the soil to improve its nutrient content and water-holding capacity.
Sow the seeds: Sow the seeds directly in the soil after the last frost, or start them indoors in seed trays and transplant them later. You can plant the seeds randomly or broadcast them.
Water the seeds: Water the soil thoroughly after planting to ensure that the seeds are moist. Be careful not to overwater, as this can cause the seeds to rot. Water regularly to keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged.
Thin the seedlings: Once the seedlings have sprouted and grown to a height of 2-3 inches, thin them out to allow more space for growth. Space the remaining seedlings 12-18 inches apart to allow them to mature and fill in.
Fertilize the plants: Feed the plants with a balanced fertilizer or vermicompost once a month to promote healthy growth and leaf production.
Harvest the leaves: Amaranthus Red is ready for harvest when they are about 5-6 inches long. Harvest the leaves by cutting them off at the stem with a sharp pair of scissors or a knife. New leaves will continue to grow throughout the season, so you can harvest as needed.

Compatibility: Amaranthus Red can be used in a variety of dishes and pairs well with other vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, and onions.
