The Contrary Farmer, Gene Logsdon has a nice piece on hoes on his blog over at organictobe.org. The piece is from 1985, but I guarantee you that even more than 20 years ago Gene had spent more time at the business end of hoes than any 10 of us combined.

Sunday music: Sweden’s finest
This week, Ellis Hollow celebrates and salutes Ken and Carina at TrädgÃ¥rdsdrömmar, who this week were chosen most beautiful garden in Sweden 2008, by the magazine Drömhem & TrädgÃ¥rd. How to celebrate? With some of the other fine things Sweden has bestowed on those who appreciate the finer things, Absolut, Nils von Dardel and The Hives — perhaps the finest garage-punk band in recent years.
