Sweet! Yeah, both are incredibly easy to grow and as you point out grow themselves perdy much. Keep me posted as to what you discover. I’m always thrilled when I see those wild n wooly Giant Magenta Orach ‘cultivars’.  
I find fewer fresh spring greens taste better in a quick egg scramble than lambsquarter.

I didn’t even realize this was an option… I also think I’ll be giving it a shot.

I want to he clearer here: I am completely unsure if they will cross or can cross. LOL. BUT, I have grown things before with keen likenesses (almost  
like a - gasps - ‘Doctrine of Signatures’ alchemy) I was told couldn’t cross and, well, I am fairly certain they crossed (several of my Walnut crosses and willow crosses come to mind). SO, I am merely suggesting given their clear phenotypic similarities and family associations, consider growing them together and observe what happens. If nothing else, you’ll have delicious scrambled eggs and greens 😂
