Bees On the Buckwheat

If you grow it, they will come ....

I never thought I could have pride in a field of flowers, but here we are.  Just a handful of snaps from the resurrected buckwheat.



The first time this field came up the plants were nowhere near this healthy-looking.  A ton of lime on the half-acre has really made a difference since the last planting.  This crop is from the original planting; once the flowers went back to seed I mowed it all down, limed the field and tilled everything back in.


The hum on the field is once again very pleasant.  These pictures show that the flowers have yet to fully open.
