did you take your plants with you when you moved?
Comments (4)I moved 1000 miles, and planned on taking all my WS babies, etc. Couldn't, because I could only take what would fit in my car. As ajpa suggested, I started some cuttings of larger things that were memorial plants, so I didn't want to lose them - my Dad's rose of sharon, my nephew's hydrangea, etc. Because my brother died a few months before I moved, I also had a couple of memorial plants I had received for him that I simply never planted in the ground - they came with me. I had enough time to work on this (over a year, it turned out in the end) to collect seeds from all my wintersown plants, so that accounted for 95+ different varieties (seeds pack easier!). With the wintersown plants I had in containers from last year and this, I ultimately had to weed out - I gave away most, kept one special tomato plant, and the plants that had been difficult to germinate (beach plum - I only had one seedling after 5 years of trying - it's here in SC with me). The issue will depend on how far you have to move - if you're like Tiffy, and you're only moving 45 minutes away, you can keep a lot more stuff and make multiple trips to and fro. But if you have to go far, make your priorities the stuff you can't otherwise replace - WS proved to me that in 5 years, I can grow most anything, so if it's not a memorial plant or a difficult germinator, I took seeds instead.

Comments (7)When I was married my husband was in charge of outdoor decorations. We both were shift workers then at the same plant so it was natural for one of us to come home at 11 pm. I figured it was finally time to take down the front decorations as we were heavy decorators. Nothing left unturned in out yard. So when he was due in at 11 one night I had the whole outdoors lit up. Every light on. Everything moving. He unplugged it. Next night same thing He came home to Vegas lights. He showed me. Removed the extension cord. Ha I am an electrician. After the third night they were down. He is gone now. Kinda miss messing with him. Paula...See MoreCan you take your fish w/ you when you move?
Comments (2)I've trasported my large koi before by purchasing a large tuperware bin with a lid. Place the fish's pond water in the bin about 1/3 to 1/2 full, then add your fish. In the lid, you'll need to puncture a tiny hole for an air tube. Run the air tube to the bottom of the tub under the water and seal the lid on tightly. I used heavy duty duct tape to prevent any splashing. Then attach the air tube to a battery operated air pump that you can get at any aquarium store. Don't forget to bring along extra batteries. It was a bumpy ride but all of my fish survived it. P.S. You might want to do the same with the Beta in a separate container or your lap could end up soaked every time you hit a bump in the road! It also may be best to put your poor old kitty in a covered cat carrier for the trip as well. The stress of riding in a moving vehicle for an old cat could result in a lap full of much worse than water! (Been there too, unfortunately)! Good luck with your move....See MoreHow do you know when it is time to put your dog down? :(
Comments (57)Much better news that the update I was expecting when I opened this. UTIs can be really bad and a bit tricky to doagnose in pets as well as people (young or old) with limited communication. Glad to know it's good news and she's doing better....See Morecamlan
