Five of these beds will grow buckwheat, one is for potatoes, and the three in the far back by the barn will be used for salad greens.

I cleared this area with my broadfork, then the family and I weeded. After that, I stomped down some good paths and voila!

I’m not sure how well buckwheat will do here – this is another experiment. I’m mostly interested in growing it for chicken feed and compost fodder, but if it produces decently, we may add it to our diet as well.

Pancakes!
