From what I learned from my first crop of these. I should have started them much earlier inside before transplanting, because we ended up with frost before they were dry on the vine. Also, I believe they are heavy feeders, so I should have added more fertilizer that manure.

People are pretty surprised that they are a plant. You can actually eat them when they are young before they get all fibrous. They look like zucchinis

I spent the evening last night cleaning my luffas I grew this summer. A bit of a pain in the butt I must say. I could probably purchase them cheap enough, but at least I know these are au natural with no chemicals and just horse manure for fertilizer (cause we got S*** loads of that (literally).

LOL not this Canadian hahahahahaha

Those are great shelving units. I immediately thought they were marshmallows too. Or big cotton balls. Nice to have the space for organizing.

Hi @Grantxw8, No I do not make candles. I have a parrot that would croak if I ever burned a scented candle, so I don't bother. I love them though.

That is even better. Great tip....since I continue to think my memory will continue to be as good as it used to be.....boy am I wrong.

I am just a small business soap maker so I really don't have oodles of soap to cure and store. I buy small 4000ml size plastic boxes with lids for stacking ( they are about the size of a shoebox) and then drill small holes throughout the sides and set each batch in it's own box on paper towel...

Hi @Grantxw8 I will once I get home. Thank you

I have tried to get this program to work on my computer. I even purchased Microsoft 365 but it is still a no go. No macros are able to be enabled. Thank you for your work on it @Grantxw8.

Thank you @Jersey Girl. That is a beautiful shade. It reminds me of those China dishes with the white and blue.

@dmcgee5034 these are all beautiful. I would have a hard time choosing. I like your displays of them as well.

These are beautiful @Jersey Girl I would love to know the blue that you used. That is a great idea about the masterbatch colour @TheGecko I may try that instead of all the measurements I try to record each time. I also did wedding soaps of little gnomes. I also only had 4 molds. Thank...

Thank you @Grantxw8 Things are calming down a bit for me here. No more people trying to get into my house LOL I have security up the wazoo now. When I had my Neapolitan Mastiff he was enough of a deterrent but now I have a Golden Retriever and a Cocker Spaniel that welcome people with open...

I'm not sure if this was covered yet but I box my soap. I bought a Cricut to design a soap box for myself. I don't think it would be very convenient for big time makers but I just do small markets here and there. It will print out my business name and what needs to be on the front, then I do...

Sorry to see you go. Will you still check in to see if people "me in particular" have any questions regarding your programme?

Thanks. It will be an ongoing issue until the city figures out a solution. It is the drug addicts that scare me the most. I keep everything locked up tight anymore since last year when I was home recovering from surgery and an unknown drug addict woman with no shoes entered my home, took off her...

Grant, Thank you very much. I look forward to delving in. I will provide feedback as I am able. It is still very kind of you to provide it to use free of charge. I will look at it tomorrow after work and will pick your brain if I get stuck. Whillow.

So hind sight from my absolute seized soap the other night….I had the start of yet another Covid virus and I think I may not have been feeling great that night. Here is a pic of the cut soap which really is not as bad as I thought it would be.

Well last night I made a pop bottle pour that seized up so bad I had to grab pieces of the colours and shove them in the mold. The fragrances did not say anything about seizing but holy moley. I would have added my video but there were too many choice words that I couldn't bleep them all out...
