Despite a fan going, temperature in the polytunnel is 60 degrees today. It’s also our packing station…

How do does anyone else combat this?

[Peter McGowan @growingOden]

After all my anxiety of shutting down the storefront and the marketplaces it’s great to get away and relax.

Leaving this little cottage with incredible views of the mournes today for the beaches of Donegal ❤️

[Peter McGowan @growingOden]

That’s everything on holiday mode…

All that’s left now is to follow the rebrand plan 🫡

If you’re managing to get away this summer. I hope you have a great time ❤️

[Peter McGowan @growingOden]

Orders complete. Last trip to supplier tomorrow morning before some time away.

I'm terrified to turn off all the marketplaces this evening.

Shopify and the marketplaces will be off. What does anyone else do when they go away for an extended period of time?

[Peter McGowan @growingOden]

The plan;

Having no current accessible Shopify storefront is honestly worrying but at least I have a plan, and hopefully worth it 🤞🤞

To do a shopify 'rebrand'; duplicate theme, password original storefront (if needed) make the changes needed on the duplicate. Publish.

Day 2 of the summer holidays.

The kinetic sand is out. Good luck to all the parents out there 🫡

[Peter McGowan @growingOden]

The truth is that my 'helper' slowed packing progress today (as usual) but she loves to help and we always get there in the end ❤️

The ‘founder Monday morning routine’: 5am ice bath, journaling, meditation.

My Monday routine: Coffee, negotiating the school run & praying I have enough of the correct plants to fulfil weekend orders.

🤦‍♂️🤞

Password now on the Shopify for the rebrand to Oden.

I have agonised so much over this decision.

Still able to do daily dispatch through the marketplaces. You won’t hear this said much (because people usually complain) but thank god for Amazon & EBay.

[Peter McGowan @growingOden]

Closing the chapter on ‘Plant Friends’ with £70k+ in sales and 4,300+ orders.

What started as a simple side project has slowly morphed into this weird multi-channel thing.

Doing a complete overhaul and moving the entire brand over to Oden (@odenhq).

Will use X as the journal.

Hey @NotionHQ how about the ability to add colours to calendar within the main app?

[Peter McGowan @growingOden]

Hey @monzo how about the ability to hide pots under a drop menu? 😊

Hey @monzo how about the ability to hide pots under a dropdown?

[Peter McGowan @growingOden]

Hey @NotionHQ

1. How about letting date properties databases populate as dates into a calendar view?

2. How about adding a toggle for floating or fixed columns in table view? Would help when scrolling left or right.

😁🤞

[Peter McGowan @growingOden]

Hey @NotionHQ a way of having two databases in one calendar would be useful ✌️
