For those who don't know about my beginnings here let me tell you that when I started on read.cash I did it by publishing cooking recipes and taking pictures of my plants. At that time, more than a year ago, I was not working as a professional but as a merchant. There had been a problem with my ultrasound equipment and I had to stop working for a year and then the pandemic hit, so that made three years in total without work as a professional.
Then, as I like baking, I became a pastry chef making vanilla and chocolate cakes and also gingerbread cookies, nutmeg cookies, candies, jams and sweet fruit pulp. I sold all of this.
In addition, as I love plants, I planted many cactus, succulents and flowering, colorful and aromatic plants. Just as I sold my cakes and cookies in the same way I sold my plants.
It was with these photos and publications that I started here. Then I kept changing the topics and I got to where you already know I am.
At the time the pandemic hit I had to give up sales and public exposure, it was all paranoia and thank God I was invited to come to read.cash, and after much thought I decided to come. To the point that later I stopped participating in the other platforms because they were too demanding and I could no longer continue writing on them.
I dedicated myself exclusively to writing here, until then I eventually restarted again on Steemit and then on Hive. But I always do it for fun because on those platforms things are different.
Now I am dedicated to my practice in the mornings and after lunch I'm dedicated to my plants. And this activity with my garden has been going strong these past few days.
Since last week I have been arranging my garden. I need to arrange my plants in a way to classify them by price so it is easier for people to choose the cheapest or the leafiest which are the most expensive plants.
The shelves where I place my plants are made of iron and with the water, the sun and the wind they are already very rusty. They needed remodeling, so we started a series of repairs on what were three shelves and when we remodeled them we separated them and ended up with 5 shelves.
My plants needed to be restocked. I also transplanted some that were crowded in their pots, it has become a two week job trying to arrange and arrange the plants on the shelves.
The plants that are getting ready for their new pots still have to wait another week of resting before they can be offered for sale, but they are all doing very well and have accepted their new place willingly.
The ones that have not been blooming for a long time are even blooming, and my garden, apart from being as organized as it looks now, is also in full bloom. You can see the flowers of my clovers, bromeliads, calla lilies, crown of Christ and many more.
Now after finishing with the arrangement of my plants we are giving a little more security to the protective wall of the house. In previous days I published how people who love the plants that others planted with much love, penetrated in the night hours to the garden of my house.
They climbed over the gate and up the wall into my garden and took many of my mother plants, but I have recovered from the loss of the plants and I've already reseeded many of them and I'm back to having over 100 cacti and succulents on the cactus shelves.
But back to the point of protecting the wall… we are strengthening the wall by putting up lots of cut glass bottles. The next person who wants to climb the wall and hold on to the top will have to go first to take care of his bleeding hands when he touches the broken glass at the top of the wall.
I have no other choice. I must also protect my house, my office and my garden from predators.
So much for my arrangements! Thank you all, my beautiful people and followers and my sponsors. I am grateful for the sponsorship renewal from @Bloghound
I love your garden. I would love to have space to have a little one someday. I hope the business with your plants will prosper, my friend. Abrazos!
