Good question Momma - I was wondering the same thing this past week when I
noticed volunteer buckwhat coming up - it made it through the winter ! So, I
went ahead and broadcast a bunch three, four days ago, nothing yet and we
had frost last night, and likely tonight - so I'll keep you posted.
Buckwheat is fast growing, attracts beneficials, makes a tasty green while
it's young, and provides plenty of organic material - not a nitorgen fixer
though - bees like it too...
