Not sure about harvesting -- I think it's when the seeds are out and pretty solid, but that's just an impression. 3 months after seeding is one note I see. There's a lot of stuff on the webs about soba (which is buckwheat).<br /><br />Grinding... the traditional grinder here is a stone one, but I've been assured you can use almost any kind of grinder. I think the buckwheat seeds are fairly tough. Let me do some poking around... I wonder if you could use a metate (isn't that the old flat stone on flat stone grinder that the American Indians used for corn?).Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01422171964652699673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-91527322634661630432011-09-10T09:43:07.328+10:002011-09-10T09:43:07.328+10:00It does sound like a good possible, Quilly.

I...They plant buckwheat here as a late summer crop. It grows quickly but doesn't like exceptionally high heat. Farmers here like it because it actually doesn't like nitrogen fertilizer! Great follow on crop therefore. <br /><br />In the slavic ethnic towns north of us (mining at the turn of the 1900's) you will see all sorts of kasha dishes at the fall festivals. Kasha seems to be fairly easy to make from freshly harvested buckwheat as it seems every house in the Little Poland area of SE Kansas has a patch planted in the late summer. (Pulled a few rockets that drifted in them out of them in my time).<br /><br />This actually may turn out to be a great cereal for your long time use as you quite possibly could get several plantings in.<br /><br />We're a wee bit warmer longer into the fall then Cedar's place...it comes in just before the frost. I wish I knew how to compare the temps of the growing season for it here with your temp ranges.Quilly_Mammothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233071648647457818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-70175086510533504352011-09-09T22:02:09.648+10:002011-09-09T22:02:09.648+10:00Hum... this looks pretty simple?

As for the buckwheat, it should sprout in prepared ground and grow fast. Ours has been up and blooming for ages now, but I don't know if it will have a chance to set seed before the first frost, which will kill it. We use it as a green manure, and becuase it's a great bee-plant.Cedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335404569894164715noreply@blogger.com
