rice555 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hello All, has anyone tried growing and if, what verity? Was it for seed or GM? I was about to order my CARE package from the US and for my seed part of the package, I was wondering if it was worth the effort? rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLW Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I brought some buckwheat seeds here from my recent trip to the very northeast of Vietnam. They grow it as cash crop. Not sure how it will stand the Thai climate conditions. Royal Project Store has some seeds (grains) and buckwheat flour available.I will try it in some big pot for fun and report here.

rice555 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Thanks for the info, I had ordered some small packets from a Co. in N. Calif. that you can direct order with plastic and they will mail here, Stainable Seeds in Chico Ca. I wanted to try buckwheat and see if I could squeeze it in from mid Dec to mid Feb. To stray a little, I also got some kale to try, most likely will go NTF Hydro with it later, but finally found fresh kale at the new Central in Korat and was Bt.299 a bunch. rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLW Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 You mean 29 Baht per bunch of Kale, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife found it and showed it to me, I would like to have bought some, but not at that price. I haven't been able to find kale in Korat at Foodland, The Mall or Lotus. A friend of mine down by Chi Am was growing in by hydro saw it a Vila HH and it was about Bt.200. Here's the time they give for the buckwheat, and a pic. rice555 Fagopyrum esculentum Japanese Buckwheat (49 days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed you mean Chinese kale but now I understand you mean the real thing 555Kind of miss it. Good for stew with sausages or bacon/pork belly.Hope you can grow it here. Concerned about bolting and less leaves because of (T)hai temperatures.The buckwheat is a nice flower beside it's use for the grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soidog2 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I grew Russian kale last year; surprisingly, it did very well, had lots of crispy salads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
