Buckwheat bucket

I like to plant specific types of buckwheat in different areas, in order to evaluate which seeds do better where. I know it's mostly common buckwheat, but some sellers collect and store the seeds in different ways, and some of it I don't really know the age on.

I had a baggie with some "scrap" bnckwheat seeds and chaff in it -- Sometimes seed I sowed comes up long after I planted it, and I get a little "surprise" crop. So that's where this seed came from, and I decided to sow it in a white plastic pail with draining holes drilled in it. I'm enjoying looking at the cloverlike foliage. We'll see if it flowers and makes seed. I did move it away from the back door to the other end of the deck, as some bees were alrady arguing with me about whose buckwheat it is.

I'll take more photos as the plants develop and post them here on the blog.
