I've worked with smallholder farmers in communities in West Africa where some combination of pearl millet, sorghum, and fonio were grown. I've also worked with gardeners in some of those communities. And I've done home vegetable gardening on a modest but sustained level in northern Virginia for seven years. However, I haven't thought about grain gardening - grains always seemed like field crops, even if the fields might be small in size. So it is of interest to catch up with the facts that (1) grain gardening is a thing in the US & Canada, and (2) some people are growing millets and sorghum on a home-scale. Although this is relatively minor in the overall scheme of things, there may be stories from this practice that might play well for a public audience. For the general case (#1), I understand that one of the authorities is (or was) Gene Logsdon, author of Small Scale Grain Raising,/1 among other books. I saw his 1978 article in Mother Earth (actually an excerpt from his book) introducing the topic/2 Logsdon is actually written up in Wikipedia./3 Another book on home-scale grain growing is Brie Arthur's Gardening With Grains./4 Her approach is more "edible landscaping" or "foodscaping,"/5 which I had heard of but honestly hadn't connected with plants we usually think of as grain crops. For discussions specifically of growing millets and sorghum on a home-scale (#2), I'd turn again to an article by Gene Logsdon (another book excerpt), in which he writes briefly about proso millet, foxtail millet, and pearl millet./6 An article in Epic Gardening gives a long and sometimes detailed discussion of millets, specifically proso, foxtail, pearl, finger, and fonio./7 Note the reference in the article to the International Year of Millets. (Although nicely written, the article has the same "split-personality" issue common to a lot of writing on millets, in that part of the time it refers to "millet" as one thing, and part of the time it discusses the diverse species of millets.) Another article lists "millet" with mention of the "Proso White" variety, among 5 grain-bearing plants suitable for home-scale growing./8 A distinction should be made here between purely decorative varieties of millets, which are also a thing, and those grown for edible grains, which are my focus here. Due to nomenclature, and the long discussion of whether or not it is a millet, the subject of sorghum tends to crop up in a different set of articles. In the first of Logsdon's articles cited above,/1 he mentions a neighbor who baked cookies from home-grown, home-milled grain sorghum. Brie Arthur, the foodscaper, discusses sorghum, but only mentions millet in mpassing, among warm-season grain crops./9 And there's a pretty detailed article on sorghum in Epic Gardening./10 Finally, the webpage that got me started on this post was one I came across by accident looking for something else. It's a very brief discussion of two varieties of sorghum by an artisanal seed producer in Canada - Mennonite and Ba-Ye-Qi./11 These are adapted to northern latitudes. (Canada, the location of this seed producer, is of course at the northern limits for various millets and sorghum, and there are interesting stories there for another post.). There are a number of videos on the above topics, which I won't try to summarize here. (If anyone has any suggestions, please let us know.) DO, EL, MI, US Notes; 1.
