The Gardening For Ability Workshop is complete in the classroom. YEAH! This is a program that is under development for wider distribution. I would love to have input to make it stronger and more useful.

Just a friendly reminder that April's Workshop will be split into 2 parts. I would love to have you join both sessions or just one. The topics are related but one does not affect the other. April 18 at 2pm Eastern - Creative Containers You Have We will take an hour and explore free and inexpensive ways to come up with containers for your Tiny Gardens and how to get them ready for your plantings. April 25 at 2pm Eastern - Planting The Container Garden I will be taking one of the containers that I prepared on the 18th and taking it to a complete garden and take a look at some other gardens that are done. Come and join us and Show what you are putting together or get some pointers on what you want to put together.

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.
