Mother in law blues?

I have been having trouble with my mommy in law and now hubby wants me to get a gift for mothers day.


I really want to make good with her so I wanted to make an pretty planter. I got the planter I just need to know what plants to put. I really want to make her day. Help please. As soom of you know she has breast cancer.

My mom went thru breast cancer too. She ended up with a double mastectomy and she has been fine ever since. Just wanted you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel.





I'm not sure how to answer your question. I just want to tell you how awesome you are for doing that. I did read your other question and you are being a wonderful person to do this.





It is a lot to go thru and people have a tendency to do things that are out of character. Hang in there she will probably need you more than ever now. Don't forget about how your hubby is dealing with this too. Good Luck
Reply:If she has breast cancer and is undergoing treatment (chemo) I'd shy away from the flowers as the flowers may pose a threat to her frail health. Cancer patients undergoing therapy undoubtedly have a very compromised immune system and the pollen from the flowers may aggrevate any latent illness or allergies.





Instead, go with a silk flower arrangement or gift basket with her favorite movies instead.
Reply:Your hubby and you read like two peas in a pod ; ) Sorry to hear MIL is going thru a tuffy right now. This may cheer her up:





There are many things that can be grown in a container including a cut-and-come again garden of lettuce for the front porch or balcony. Your local garden center sells packets of seed that are mixed or seedling plants that include a variety of colors - very pretty, delicious, and health beneficial. What I mean by cut-and-come-again is that she should be able to get several cuttings from a container planting because once it's cut, it will grow back. In fact, you might make more of them while you are at it if your family enjoys fresh greens for salad...this makes a good gift for any occassion : )





If you decide to do that make sure the pot is clean and use good potting soil, the best is organic for vegetables purchased from your local store.

Reply:i would put in a Spider plant, and an Ivy, with a busy Lizzy as well all of these grow well and can be separated into their own pots when they have outgrown the planter, and its easy to do for her to. These plants can be grown in doors as well as being put out doors in soil. have sent links good luck
