Use to grow buckwheat for pancake flour. Planted it from June 10th to July 20th.That way, had half a chance to get some yield from some field. Buckwheat don't like hot weather, blossoms will blast and not set seed. They call it the poor mans crop, because it never needed fert.. Emits a chemical from the roots to kill weed seed, seedling.
Don't know how much deer like it, but turkeys do.
