RE: Lavender Harvesting

in OCD4 years ago

So happy to see that you are still active :) I haven't been on the site in forever, but i went back to steemit, everything had changed for the worse. So now i am trying out hive. I am just about to finish my Masters, so i wanted to get back into the community here.

Interestingly enough i might start working in a startup where we will be doing vertical farming, so it is lovely seeing plant related posts. Lavender is such a fragrant flower, it can almost become too powerful for me. I hope you'll have a big enough harvest to do essential oils at one point, and if you do, please do a video on it! I would love to see that.

Hope you're doing well

Oh heeey! Long time no see! Yea everything on Steem kind of fell apart since Tron acquired Steemit and tried to take the entire network. Most people migrated here and since then everything seems a lot better and moving in the right direction with Hive.

So cool, finishing Masters seems like a big deal. Glad to hear about your plans to get back to the community, yay! ^^

Yea, I looked into the distilling process, it would be so cool to try it, and get that device that looks a bit like from a sci-fi movie or an engine room of a ship for some reason xD If I get to plant a field of lavender, I for sure will give all kinds of fun things a go and experiment making stuff out of them. 6 plants are not enough though, but I have something I am dying to post about soon, so there's that :)

Yep, I am doing pretty well. How about you?

That sounds awesome!
Yeah, it is awesome to finish my masters, but i am also really looking forward to being done. My thesis partner fell ill with covid, and had to go to the hospital for 14 days, so we had to postpone our hand in. So now i just really wanna hand it in!

Are stills legal where you are from? I thought they were kinda iffy because you can also use them to make alcohol?

I am doing well i would say. I have a big decision to make when it comes to changing jobs, but i am working on figuring that out. In 2 months, it should be a lot more quiet :)

Ah! So sorry to hear about your thesis partner! I had covid visiting my home too, 3 members of my family got it, it was really hard to stay safe and healthy during that time, but because of some miracle I got by without getting ill or even if I did get it, it was so mild that I mostly didn't even notice. It was, however, very stressful as I was taking care of one of them. All the sanitation madness was a bit too much for me.

Good question, I would probably need some sort of permit to have such device, but I am not sure yet, have to research a bit more.

Hope to see you posting soon! :)

Yeah, it was pretty bad! I didn't experience any symptoms either, but i did go into quarantine after he went to the hospital. I suspect i must have had it at that point, as i was trapped in a small room with him for weeks before he got it.

I really hope your family is okay now?
