Don't try to get seeds out of the buckwheat

Yeah, definitely grow it for the soil enhancer, but my seed collection attempt didn't quite work out.  First, I had only 30% germination rate for the final batch of 10 seeds I had collected.  Second, during stormy weather many seeds fell off the plant and were eaten (the eater opens the seeds for the insides) so there were a bunch of seeds I never got to harvest.  Third, the plants go all spindly and lose a lot of biomass during the seed stage, so less soil enhancer given there was no extremely minimal seed collection.

Was worth a try, though!
