CULTIVATION OF GOOSEFOOT SEEDS:
The cultivated kinds of goosefoot do not spread as much as the wild ones do. They cross-fertilize but not with other species of goosefoot. If the plants are not topped they begin to bloom and produce seeds. Read more about seed cultivation in the pieces on spinach and beetroot. The seeds lose their fertility quite quickly. New seed must be grown every second year.
