When tempted to contact(like telling her about the soil, etc.) ask yourself if that is something she would figure out by herself. How important is it that you must text or email? Is it something that can wait?
When you are focused on her (and you are), everything seems to be an opportunity to contact. But it could be more irratating to her than welcomed. She will see it as pursuing.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
