I’m here at last! Got a job so now finances are a little more stable. My wife Aleja and I live in San Rafael Colombia. Our main focus is on Ayahuasca, Coca in our jungle territory and here at our home we’re planting tiny gardens for herbs, and medicinal plants. Including a sad looking basil we plan to make much happier soon. 🌿 Growing Conditions – San Rafael, Antioquia 📍 Elevation: ~1,000–1,100 meters (3,280–3,600 ft) above sea level (Some surrounding fincas can vary slightly depending on terrain) 🌡️ Climate Type: Tropical rainforest climate Warm, humid, very stable year-round 🌡️ Temperature: • Average: 22–28°C (72–82°F) • Very little seasonal variation • Nights stay warm (rarely below 18°C / 64°F) 🌧️ Rainfall: • High rainfall: ~2,500–4,000 mm/year • Two wetter peaks typically: • April–May • October–November • Frequent afternoon rains • No true “dry season,” just lighter rain periods 🌱 Growing Zone (USDA equivalent): Zone 11–12 (No frost ever, continuous growing year-round) 🌞 Sun Patterns: • ~12 hours of daylight year-round (equatorial) • Strong sun when clear, but often diffused by clouds/humidity
