Yeah! The Gardening For Ability Guidebook is available in the Classroom as a PDF download. I will be editing and adding the video from the workshop this week.

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

It's finally spring here in Ohio. Kind of. As we are coming close to April Fool's Day, it is a good time to post some sun information. On April 1 12 hours and 43 minutes of sunlight The sun reaches its highest point at 53 degrees and 3 seconds. This information is used to design gardens and green houses, placement of container gardens, and in the design of sustainable homes.

Sunday's Garden chat was a lot of fun! We shared about the plants in our lives, artwork, and our 4 legged friends! I would love to see you there Friday or Sunday at 2pm. This is a great opportunity to share wins, get help with challenges, and say hi to each other's 4 legged family members.

I did a live planting session during a recent Garden Chat, I forgot to turn on the mike. Oh Well. Here is the video.
