Buckwheat

Sowed about 3 weeks ago and already in flower! Buckwheat is a great late summer cover crop due to its rapid growth and ability to out-compete weeds. In a couple weeks, before the buckwheat goes to seed, the meadow will be mowed and the green matter will be left to decompose and build the soil.
