Buckwheat

CA$4.50

Grow your own pancakes! Yes, this is possible: harvest the dried seeds and grind them into flour with a blender. But we grow buckwheat to attract hordes of pollinators to the farm. It is quite something to see all of the insect life cavorting about on the flowers. Buckwheat can also be used to smother troublesome weeds in a bed. Sow April-May in a prepared bed about 1/2” deep. Will grow to 4’ tall and will self sow if let go to seed.
