Celosia spicata 'Intenz'

#selfsown #celosia #celosiaintenz #purple

I'm going try growing these this year with seed from USA 👍

@Cyndi I have also bought some Amaranth seeds which are also edible & very nutritious. I didn't know but saw it on a tv programme here recently 👍

I’m not the best eater (none) at anytime. Not a chance I will nibble on them!!! @cyndi @jeatacake

I'll give it a go, that's if I can get the things to grow in the first place!

Our bio security is so strict. Only certified seeds are allowed. Wish I could send you some. @jeatacake @cyndi

No worries Sussanah. I've seen the border control TV programmes & yep, strict is an understatement!

I was going to ask if anyone watches those shows 🙂. Notice all the Chinese trying to smuggled food in. Every show, wether here NZ UK Canada. Still amazes me what they call food. Yuk 🤮 @jeatacake

I know what you mean, but worst thing brought in here is bush meat from Africa. That's seriously bad stuff 😡

Yuk yuk yuk. Seafood too. Dried octopus 🐙. Snails. Crickets. Worms. Pickled anything. And of course the unidentifiable! Most only pay a fine.

Nothing I fancy out of that lot, lol! Seriously though, I saw some terrible (& sometimes upsetting) things food-wise in markets in China. All just normal as far as they were concerned.

Me too. I also couldn’t understand why these massive highways were empty. My uncle explained that the road was for thousands of bicycles before and after work. You should see what uncle Robbie has eaten. He and I have a banter on fb on what “delicacy” he has eaten. Then he teases me about eating dogs. I have 4.
