stellar_muddleNot quite the shopping I had planned, but all good progress :)
Got distracted by S&T inviting me to join them in visiting a big gardening store. There was a slight detour to Trash Palace (haven't been there in ages), then some stuff was dropped off and then there was much plantage. S&T got a definite fruit plant fix, though fruit salad at their place may involve some interesting guessing in future given some of the types they got.
I stuck slightly more to smaller more immediate results plants: spinach and sugar snaps (I'll happily eat those) and a jasmine, since the smell of Mum and Dad's one on Thurs evening was gorgeous... Resisted cacti, though Dad, if you are having fun thinking of something to give me for Christmas...
Was funny seeing Phalaenopsis on sale at $45 each, especially after having seen Dad's large lineup on the counter between the kitchen and dining area... Not really tempted by those though.
Headed home, then decided that too late to head into town, but that Moore Wilsons was still a go. No cardamon (rather curious), no almond oil (not really suprising, but I was going to check - will have to be Common Sense Organics for that). Citric acid though. And strawberries. $2.50 punnets and they were ones full of little strawberries. Not the ginormous no flavour ones, but nice little sweet juicy strawberries. Torn between stuffing my face and drying them for later. Bit of both maybe.
Then there was a bit of gardening - clearing the back bed against the wall and planting out the spinach, jasmine and sugar snaps.
But worked out what to get dad for Christmas, so that is sorted:)
All good.
