Decided to sow buckwheat seeds this summer in a corner of the yard I won't be planting veggies in this year. I have never tried buckwheat before but I'm a bit worried. A week ago Monday (so nearly ten days now) I turned the dirt, re raked it, sprinkled seeds, raked gently and watered. This was followed by much rain and some rather cool weather, low 30's. No frost though. I thought the seeds would love the rain but absolutely nothing is growing out there. Did I fail? I read the germination period for buckwheat was four days.

Thanks.
