Clean sheet tonight, love it, its high double digits today with a good breeze, things are drying out in two hours flat, and the guest beds are in need of a good spring washing.
Look at all the baby elder’s that have self-seeded out, going to let them grow up a good bit before digging them out and transferring them to new places and give some away for the ottawa food forest. This is just one patch of them, I think I have at least 40 to 50 of them.
So busy rooting, didn’t even look up to say hello yet..
Got to the raised beds, and I see that the pea’s and beets are up..
Rhubarb growing well, my mints are starting to come up, I know this because I stepped at the wrong spot, up came the wonderful scent of fresh mint! and look at this massive almost foot and half wide of beebalm plant coming! or now that I am in the house, I can’t remember which row this was taken in, so its either a wild violet or a beebalm?
Just another Day on the Farm 
Looking at how thick these seedlings are, I’m guessing violets… (besides, they’re earlier; )
ya, I figure you are right, I could have got off my lazy behind and going back out to check but I was to busy getting ready to make soap and then post about it..
After I got it all made in the mold, I didn’t like it, I ended up redoing it all, so the end results are a surprise but they are super cute..
So, do you have to melt it down again, or what?
Lol, no I didn’t need to rebatch it, it takes a min of 24 hours sometimes upwards of 72 hours before its soap, it was at thick trace instead of light trace but so instead of working with cake batter thickness, I was working with loaf batter thickness.
It can still be hot (as it heating up and giving heat) upwards of 12 hours after going into the molds and still warm to the touch at 24 hours depending on the oils used, the coloring and scents used.. example adding honey can cause it to heat to the point of foaming out the middle, think volcano if not done correctly.
I try and stay away from the more “hot oils” but I added lemon scent and it went from light trace to set it up NOW due to the citrus scent, its a touchy one to work with.. I am lucky because I tend to stay plain scented or natural scents, those that are working scents that are fake made, have alot more isseus with rapid setting then I do with the ones I make.
