As a cover crop, buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) brings a lot to the table. This plant grows quickly to smother weeds and protect from erosion. If allowed to mature, groats are protein-rich and provide a nutritious alternative to wheat for anyone who needs to avoid gluten. Beekeepers love its nutritional benefits for honeybees. 70-90 days to maturity. Seed packet contains 14 G (about 528 seeds).

Sow any time from late spring to late summer. Cultivate soil bed and broadcast seeds, tamping down firmly. Do not overwater; buckwheat does not tolerate wet roots. Turn under at any time for green manure or harvest groats when 80-90% of seeds have turned brown.
