The Son has returned for a flying visit to Wit's End bearing gifts! Well, he brought his wallet and said the words that warm the cockles of my heart
"Come on Woman, let's go plant shopping!"
So what did he get me for my birthday?
A Medlar
2 more climbing spinach (see below)
bags of manure (he told all of his friends that he was buying shit for his mother's birthday!)
1 lemongrass.
The medlar has a rather unattractive looking fruit which can be eaten, cooked into jams and jellys and made into wines ;)
While I was at the nursery I asked them if they had any arrowroot. Once again I was told that it isn't found anywhere in WA! So I am putting the word out here; If anyone in WA has any arrowroot, would you be willing to spare a root cutting?
Hmmmm, just a question for you all; The Son was talking about nursing homes last night with The Teen. Should I be worried?

Hi Crone
Daley's is now mailing to WA, but they need to spray, etc (yuk!) and there is an extra charge. Read all about it at http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/blog/2007/07/western-australia-mail-order-fruit.html
