Alfred Reed Bishop and Doris William Butler

The picture above is the very tap root of Bishop's Homegrown/Face Of The Earth Seed. My grandparents shortly after moving to Pekin Indiana from Greensburg KY in 1947 where they purchased the farm that is now Bishop's Homegrown. This picture was taken in Pekin in front of the old co-op next to the old railroad depot, neither of which exist today.

Picture updates volume 3!


Snowfence; keeping gooseberries from becoming "turkey berries".
Gooseberries setting on

Snowbank, flower buds swelling, as of today they are open

Nettletons, curiously undergoing the blooming cycle at the same time, leading me to believe this was originally Iceberg quite possibly.

Raised tire garden.

Tom Wagners potatoes from TPS



Flying Dragon Trifoliate orange seedling, sorry for the poor picture quality

Hey so you use the entire flower? I was gathering a bunch of petals but it was taking forever to separate. I might grab some lilac flowers too and give that a try. You should check out this blog: http://www.bardicbrews.net/

He makes some good looking meads with local and wild ingredients.

Hello, lovely reading your blog. I was wondering if you would like to write an article for Permaculture magazine. On the website in particular (www.permaculture.co.uk) we can have anything from a 250 word snippet to a 1200 word article or any video. The more practical and "how to" the better, so your dandelion wine would be fantastic, but also any news you would like to share is welcome. We do all the promotion and there would be a link back to your blog. We are currently getting over 56,000 visits a month. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in please contact hayley@permaculture.co.uk Thank you!
