mold.

My amaranth has grown, but I planted it far too thickly and it has become moldy; I will therefore start more. I am going to start more cilantro in the method outlined here: http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/herb/tips-for-growing-cilantro.htm as my cilantro micros have also failed to germinate.

Sprouts, however, are growing extremely well, and for the past few days Tarek and I have been eating salads comprised entirely of home-grown mini-vegetables. Nummy! I am about to have another such salad before getting to the cilantro starting.
