Buckwheat sowed (first time!)

So excited to try buckwheat as a cover crop!

Sowed it along a stretch of the north half of the north wall, where the puny leftover kales and broccolis had been attempting to grow (I removed them).  Definitely not a prime spot due to the rain and shade, but the peas will soon be out which will allow more sun at least until the cushaw starts climbing all up the pea structure.

Also sowed some in one of the pots I had prepared for zucchini and ended up not using since ground spaces were available.

I plan to pull them at some point to use them on mulch in the main beds.  (Especially since that north wall bed I'm going to convert its east portion back to patio stone because of the window well flooding issue.)

Many articles recommend pulling before it goes to seed.  I'll probably let these plants go well into flowering, for the beneficial insect aspect mentioned in this article which recommends letting it flower for at least 20 days:  "Flowering buckwheat provides a food source for beneficial insects such as hover flies, predatory wasps, minute pirate bugs, insidious flower bugs, tachinid flies, and lady beetles. These insects are predators of common insect pests and can help reduce their populations.  To provide a beneficial insect habitat, allow buckwheat to flower for at least 20 days to allow beneficials such as minute pirate bugs to breed a next generation."
