Okay, so this is my first plot. The last couple of days of rain have shown dramatic growth in 4 days. These 2 pics were taken tuesday and today. My question is, what are these. I know the mix has beans, peas, sunflowers and buckwheat. This, I'm guessing is mostly buckwheat with a few bean plants mostly visible on the right. See what you think.

If this is buckwheat primarily, will the deer hit that in late summer as claimed?
 
I am sure you will see some browsing of it, but in wayne county along our clear cut areas where we have clover year round they seem to hit the clover best in late summer when the growth of spring has become much less tasty and the rains of late summer refresh the clover after we have freshly mowed the fields which encourages new growth. I have come to think we are better off with the clover in the fields year round but they dont actually tear them up full time but rather they take spells where they hit them harder than others depending on what else they have a high attraction for.
