We are building an urban Homestead. To enjoy the benefits of better quality of food. Escaping the expensive cost of the grocery stores. All the while keeping our house looking like a perfectly manicured yard. Except all the plants and flower garden are going to be edible. But yet still blend in with all of the surrounding urban yards. We're doing a perma culture garden technique, planting fruit trees and raising chickens. Come join us and let your back yard feed you.

Encourage dandelion to grow next or near tomato. Because tomato plants love calcium, and dandelion is a good calcium pump.

Asparagus is almost impossible to get rid of. We have a stretch of land in central IL that used to be an asparagus farm. After the owner died the state took the land as a wildlife preserve. That was prob 20+ years ago, the fields still grow asparagus every year and the state encourages people to come pick it because they cant get rid of it 😂❤
