Sverige-Persson presentation 2012: My Culture, Colonygarden Sjöviken 26/27 surface area = 800 sqm. (872 yards) is located in Trelleborg, southern Sweden. I was here in 2010 with Grower Diaries, Giant Amaranthus, it was 7:42 m (24.42 ft). 2011 8.10 m (26.57 ft) and thus European record in both 2011 and 2012 under EGVGA (the Giant vegetable growers Association). This herb, I will grow this year also there is still a world record of 8:48 m (27.82 ft) to beat. I hope for a better production year 2012, and wish you the same. More from my Colonygarden on YouTube, search SuperAmaranthus, here are three pieces of films.

. Winter in my Colnygarden, now grows nothing, all plants, all of Amaranth, pumpkins yes to any biological is buried in the ground. This should be food for next year's plants, last year I have also dug down 3000 kg (6600 pound) fish-ence and even biological waste from neighbors, toiletries and household. So the colony grown on ecological basis, and I have good experience from last year's growing
