Trump admin threatens to rescind federal funds over DEI
In a sweeping and unprecedented letter issued over the weekend, the Office for Civil Rights declared race-based scholarships, cultural centers and even graduation ceremonies illegal.

This is the ‘Timing Algorithm’ Gardeners use to avoid ‘task overload’ and grow a high output garden with little experience or relying on endless spreadsheets.
After spending years growing crops for market and teaching gardening for a decade, I’ve seen the exact same problem faced by gardeners countrywide.
Tending plants is like babysitting an army of 2-year-olds.
Each type grows at its own pace and needs different things at different times.
Overwhelming us gardeners with an endless ‘to-do’ list that has no clear starting or end point.
Gardening becomes a guessing game of WHEN to:
- Seed
- Transplant
- Harvest
And so many crucial little tasks get missed.
It’s like being a chef at rush hour managing orders from everywhere.
But sadly, for many gardeners it often ends the same way:
- Plants bolt and turn yellow too soon
- Harvests are badly timed
- Crops are either overripe or underripe
- Vegetables are too small and unusable
Leaving many frustrated gardeners with half-empty baskets.
All because they’re NOT doing the right things at the right time.
Simply trying to “wing it” is not enough.
Many try managing their gardening projects with notebooks or spreadsheets.
Until it becomes a tangled web of entries, reminders, and scraps of paper.
(Which drains even more time than the garden does!)
Unless they streamline the workload, it can easily lead to:
1. More failed harvests
2. More time and effort wasted
3. Maybe even losing their passion for gardening altogether
So I was thinking:
“If only I could show my students the exact things to do in their garden at the right time for their location.”
So my dad and I created huge spreadsheets that we turned into simple ‘click ‘n drop’ gardening calendars.
Our students loved it.
And from there, the idea hit me.
What if I take these gardening calendars – plus the decades of expert farming and gardening knowledge passed down from my family – and put it in an app?
Taking all the stress out of planning and managing a garden for everyone.
