Time Spent To Chart a Path Forward

Sometimes in life challenges pop up that take your life sideways.

The last 3 months have been one of those times for me. Nothing major. Just a work load that had very little give in it. So when the challenges came up, I didn’t have enough flexibility to compensate. I took some time off from the newsletters to get some things set up and deal with life’s glitches.

Going forward, I will be paring down the newsletters to shorter versions. The Plant Profiles for 52 Plants For Small Spaces will get finished. The draft versions will get published here for free as I get them done.

The cleaned up versions are published in Delectable Tiny Gardens at

Also at Manitu Okahas Programs at

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

The Plant Profile

While I am not an expert on every plant that I will profile, I am trying to provide a complete profile for each plant. For the plants that I know, I will supplement the research information with my experience as a mid-western US gardener and as someone who has gardened in pots in an RV. For those plants that I don’t personally know, this is information that I need as well. My primary focus for 2025 is on useful plants that can be raised in almost any circumstances, from an RV or apartment to a small yard garden, to a permaculture garden.

Each profile includes as much information that I can find and is organized in a reference template that will be the same for each plant.

This is what you can expect to find in each PDF profile:

Identification

Plant growth and the conditions that the plant prefers

How the plant matures and develops

How to use the plant

The medicine and magic of the plant.

And when I know, suitable varieties for small spaces.

Any nutritional, medicinal, and magical properties that I include are intended for your informational purposes only. Always check with a reputable medical provider or herbalist before using an herb medicinally.

The version of the profile that I include in the PDF files here are a manuscript version. I welcome and encourage your input as I edit them for final publication.

Worm Composting

One of the easiest ways to turn kitchen scraps into beautiful fertility for your Tiny Gardens is with Worm Composting. There are a number of places to get the information on this method. I will be doing a 1 hour workshop/demo on February 21, 2026 at 2pm Eastern, at Delectable Tiny Gardens. The workshop will be available on replay at Delectable Tiny Gardens in the classroom.
