Thank you Bridget. Moving has definitely been stressful, but I was just thinking, I only moved like an hour away from my last place. I have no idea how you manage the moves around the world… and with kids in tow!

Hmmm… yeah, maybe I should read some more about gardening too. Like you, I’ve always felt like it should be enough to make sure plants have some water and some sun. That doesn’t really seem to turn out to be the case though. Some people just make it look so darn easy. I know it’s not a genetic problem- my parents and sister both do fine with growing things. Once I had a very sad looking spider plant and I gave it to my mom when I moved away for college. I came home for a visit a month or two later and it was all green and happy.

Thank you for the advice. I think the lettuce can live in pots. I’ll try getting them potted and see what happens. The little pods are just intended to get the seeds started.

I would get those in the ground and watch them take off. Being that they’ll be outside you’re going to need to water those everyday. When you’re watering and the ground immediately soaks up the water, then keep watering until the water pools on top of the soil. I would water them even twice a day, considering the heat this time of our season. Not certain if lettuce can yield in a 5gallon container (like tomatoes can) but that may be something you could consider just be certain that the bottom of the container has draining holes towards the bottom and side of your container.. It’s always a gratifying experience watching your plants exhibit the efforts you put into them and I know you’ll enjoy yours. Looks like you’re all ready for your new addition to your family. You’re going to make a great mom.

I was thinking just this morning that maybe I should start reading about gardening. I am death to plants but I’ve never put the effort into learning anything about them. I’ve just sort of thought that if I kept it in the sun and watered it regularly, it should grow, but I wonder if plant care is really more like cooking — a set of skills that can be learned? My brother is an incredible gardener, but he’s spent a lot of time learning, he knows a ton about soil and light and acid balance and such things.

I’m sorry to hear about the cat, but congratulations on the house! I hope it sells quickly. And — as a fellow mover-while-pregnant — feel free to take as long as you need with that self-pity. Sure, lots of people move while pregnant but that doesn’t make it any easier. Looking forward to baby pictures!

Moving absolutely is a stressful thing for most people, especially when pregnant, so good luck with everything! I am very sorry to hear about your cat. I hope you get good news soon. Sending thoughts, Bridget x 🙂
