Allsup: Gardening trends headed back to basics

We are channeling an old-fashioned style of gardening in 2015, with an emphasis back on small-farm ideals. Clotheslines, raising chickens and goats, heirlooms, growing fruits and vegetables, canning and seed saving the way our grandparents did is back in style.
