Buckwheat Seed. Organic Common.

This is our favorite cover crop! Buckwheat is unsurpassed for weed suppression and soil tilth improvement. Our organic buckwheat seed is fast growing and succulent but warm season and sensitive to frost: for green manure sow after it has warmed up (late May to mid July in the North). To plant for grain harvest sow 90 days before Fall frosts. Young plants make an excellent spinach-like green. Performs well on poor soils. Reputed to take up soil phosphorus and make available to next crop via residue decomposition. Plan on cutting/incorporating 7-8 weeks after planting at 10% bloom to avoid development of seed as a future weed problem. Seed at 4 lbs/1000 sq. ft. or 125-150 lbs/ acre. 14,000 seeds/lb.

Shipping information

Most customers ask us to ship orders at the Best Time for Spring Potato Planting based on our 50-State Chart.

However, we do ship our Seed Potatoes 52 Weeks/Year, whenever you want them. We harvest our crop of Organic Maine Certified Seed Potatoes in September. We begin shipping this New Crop by November 1 (sometimes earlier) and continue shipping from our on-farm underground Potato Storage, every week through the Winter & Spring & Summer until October 31.

All new potato tubers grown anywhere must go through a Dormancy Period after harvest before tubers will sprout and grow. This dormancy lasts 4-8 weeks. For planting after December 1, the dormancy concern becomes a non-issue because our Seed Potatoes will have completed their rest period and will sprout and grow when warmed up to room temperature.

Note: Orders which include 45 pound carton(s) of Certified Seed Potatoes and shipped after mid-November and prior to the week of March 24 or between July 1 and September 30 customarily require a $16.00 insulated box fee. If insulated packaging should not be necessary, you will receive a shipping refund automatically. Feel free to call (207) 429-9765 (M-F 8:00-5:00pm ET) for a Rate Quote.
