    It's been a few years since we've planted buckwheat and since one half of our main plot needed a summer follow up to the brassicas last year, we figured why not. We'll till this under in August and plant clover, rye, and possibly oats come September. I was up mowing the other half which is residual clover that was frost seeded this winter but is getting choked out by the grasses. This will most likely be tilled under this year and we will plant a kale, purple top, and rape mixture in late July.

    Thanks. We planted May 14th.

    Give yours time. I've had the luxury of well prepped soil. This plot has been amended/planted/worked yearly for about 12 years now.
