Buckweat

[Gthphtm]

Went to check out my little buckweat plot and when I got to it all of the tops were eaten off,they did't even get a chance to flower.

it's good they ate it. what was your plan for this plot?

Buckwheat always seems to be a favorite with deer. Also great for cleaning up ground that has laid fallow for several years. Use to grow it years back for pancake flour.

Buckwheat has a bunch of good qualities that deer hunters can use but having a plot at hunting season to feed and attract deer is not really one of them. A "little" buckweat patch is not going to last past the summer. The good news is i bet the ground is perfect for putting in a late summer annual planting if you til it under.

Yep That was the plan,turn it over and plant.

Our buckwheat last year was hosed by the end of summer, but we had planted a mix of things. So once the buck was gone the other things took up the space.
