In which JB plants corn found in a bin at a thrift store, saves his blue potatoes from the blight, and grows more amaranth as a weed than he does on purpose. The Amaranth only produced a pinch of seed, but I was able to plant that the following year in my flower beds... which the deer ate. I'll have to try again later. The Blue Potatoes were delicious. The Yield was just enough for one frying pan full of fried potato cubes. The Red Corn is waiting in my seed bag to be replanted and turned into a larger yield. Nibbling on a few of the kernels, I was surprised to find how different the flavor was from Hopi Blue Corn grown in previous videos. ===================================================== Buy a cool Spinning Wheel Kit to support Good and Basic at http://goodandbasic.com​ Help support the channel and learn with a free Audible trial (including a free audiobook): http://audibletrial.com/goodandbasic​ Nassim Taleb's books: https://amzn.to/2YpWql0​ and https://amzn.to/2MiKn6A​ Podcast: anchor.fm/goodandbasic Twitter: @goodandbasic Instagram: @good_and_basic Music credit: Spanish Summer from audionautix.com ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOADnapEz48
