"Buttwheat"

Planted a section of the arroyo bank with buckwheat or more fondly "buttwheat." It's germinated in 3 days with sprinkling 3 or 4 times a day. Days have been mid-80's, light wind, but very hot sun. Using the buttwheat to pre-empt generations of weed seeds in the recently disturbed ground around a new casita. In addition we're hoping for some soil stabilization on the edge of the ditch and till under the buckwheat at a green manure.
