Last fall I threw a Polish Amaranth plant across the fence into the vacant lot next door. This spring they started grading that lot and apparently scattered the seeds and here is the result:

There's also a few castor bean plants, too.

It's a little hard to tell from the photo, but there's also a ton of morning glories as well. That lot used to be wooded, and I sort of used it as a dumping ground for my fall garden clean-up. But now they are grading it and soon there will be apartments there, so I guess I'll have to find another way to dispose of my old plant material! BTW, the amaranth grew better there than in my own garden.

That's a great looking wildflower area now, Alan. Good job!!! lol! If you hadn't told us, I would have thought that was a planned area. I love most of the Amaranths but have shied away from the Castor Bean. I may have to give that a try next year.

You could start bundling your fall clean-up rubbage and ship to your friends.
