A while back we posted on a series of classes that the incomparable Gordon Wells was teaching throughout the Utah Valley. Some of you may have attended and hopefully have started out on your first gardening attempts or are implementing his teachings into your existing garden.
A coworker of mine went to the same class last year and implemented it in his garden that spring. He was amazed at the results he was able to obtain just by following the simple guidelines laid out by Mr. Wells. He was so impressed that he created a series of three PDF documents that simply and quickly illustrate when and what to plant.

I'm looking for some video resources of Gordon Wells teaching garden planning. So far I only found very short marketing agreements clips while searching for “Gordon Wells” and I'm wondering if I could find his full course somewhere.
Successful home gardening is his book he also sold a DVD seriesl. For some reason his website seems to be down. Gordonwells.net I believe is what it was he should be getting off his mission in anywhere from 6months to a year depending on how long they signed up.
