They look very similar, except the white colour, to fields near my son in October, '19. We were unable to determine the crop's name.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051160693725705930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-24422256435680986752021-09-01T16:28:29.849-07:002021-09-01T16:28:29.849-07:00I would like to see buckwheat for myself...I had n...I would like to see buckwheat for myself...I had never even thought about how it grows or what it looks like.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-7949881550600645662021-08-31T05:43:29.624-07:002021-08-31T05:43:29.624-07:00my grandpa has many fields and there were various ...my grandpa has many fields and there were various crops throughout the year but memories belong to cornfield is particular because it was perfect for hide and seek :)<br /><br />thank you so much for these outstanding photos dear Marie ,they all worth frame and hang on wall :) bailihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498012175058870980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-7038578883282321842021-08-30T06:11:08.952-07:002021-08-30T06:11:08.952-07:00The rows are so straight!

I am seeing a lot of corn fields and maybe alfalfa here. It is neat seeing the field of buckwheat. I have tried the buckwheat honey, I use it mainly as a sweetener for my coffee.
