Homegrown is a demo album by XTC, released a year after its parent album Wasp Star (Apple Venus Volume 2). As with Homespun, it is made up of demo recordings made in the home studios of Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding. This time, however, it is expanded to include multiple versions of several tracks. It would be reissued in 2005 as part of the Apple Box.
