RE: Planting Cuttings & Seedlings
Wow, you certainly remind me of me, you always have something going on in the garden. I used to divide all my plants every year as I had hundreds of perennials in pots that needed up potting to go to the public market every spring. That kept me very busy.
Wow so you used to create new plants to sell at the market? How cool. I bet people loved them! What sort of potted perennials did you have?
I had over 100 or so variety of perennials and grasses plus I grew vines, annuals and veggies for sale. It was a lot of work. I did that for about 14 years, until my husband hurt is back and had to have a few operations. I did it one whole season by myself and it was way to much for me. Now, I make soaps and sell crystals online and stick to caring for my own gardens. It was hard to let the nursery go but, I so don't miss the constant hard work. lol Soapmaking is so much easier on my body and I am just starting to get a following online. Now, that is fun!
Wow that is an extremely impressive resume! I can only imagine how much hard work that must have been. But when you love what you do you just keep going until you can’t! I sure hope your husband has recovered from those operations.
Your new business ventures sound just as fun! What sort of soap do you make?
I focus on all natural, vegan friendly. But many customers like goats milk too so I just started a few of those. I use a lot of my organic herbs and flowers in my soaps. It is always fun to come up with something new. I have to get busy doing shower melts and body butters as it is safe to ship them now. Never a dull moment in my home. Here is a link if you would like to see them.

I had a look and your soaps look amazing! Do you have any eczema friendly ones? I'd love to try some if they can be shipped to Spain!
I will get back to you tomorrow as I have to leave for an appt now. I do have some. ;-)
I do have, most of them are great for sensitive skin as the oils I use are very nurturing. Here are a few I would choose:

If you want any let me know which ones and I will change my settings so you can purchase and ship to spain. Also, if you can get some of the ingredients I will send you a recipe for a cream that I make for eczema for my grandson that works wonders. Chat soon
Thanks for sharing those with me! My only concern now that I see where you are based is that I might have to pay customs charges for them to arrive with me :(
I would love that recipe for eczema cream when you have a moment! I'm always up for trying new natural creams :)
I so agree with you on the customs, they get my daughter and son every time I ship to panama. It is really too expensive for you to get them from me. I can give you a list of the ingredients that work best on sensitive, eczema prone skin so you can look for homemade soaps closer to you. I am sure there is someone you can find. I will work on that for you soon. xoxo
