GROWING TIPS
Plant seeds directly into the garden starting 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Or, start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before your anticipated planting date. Set transplants in the garden after danger of frost has passed. In warmer climates, sow in the winter for maturity prior to summer’s heat. Harvest quinoa 90 to 120 days after planting when leaves have dropped, and seedheads remain. Collect before autumn rains and seed drop. Easily remove seeds by hand or shake them into a bucket. Seeds can be cooked, roasted, or ground into flour.
