Second amaranth seedling germinated. I will remove it tonight and pot it. I will also stir up the soil in the container with all the amaranth seeds. Giant amaranth seeds do not germinate consistently. I've had seeds germinate after several months and some within a few days out of the same container. I find that if disturb the dirt with a toothpick that it seems to get seeds to germinate. I usually disturb the soil once every week and this seems to do the trick. I discovered this after I had a container of seeds sit for weeks and weeks without germinating. I disturbed the soil and then many of them started germinating.
