I had to go to Lowe's to snag some lumber to finish up my 3rd table, and yeah this was a roll of the dice since we did get down into the low 20s, but their return policy is now 1 year on plants sooooo

I snagged the healthiest looking one. No visible leaf burn on this one vs the others were browned and curled and will likely be on the Cart of Death next week. 

Then we go to Walmart. Needed storage tubs for watering messes. I went to - and I say this with love - the rich people's Walmart on the other side of town since they had both sizes I need in stock. Ofc I hit the garden center and got some organic Dr Earth tropical fertilizer for like 3 or 4 bucks and I saw these on a rack that says Rollback $5. So I literally spider man and suck my guy in to squeeze between all the pallets of Christmas garbage to get to these. Pink princess and white princess.

Get to checkout and one won't scan and the other one rings up as $24.97. So I'm insistent and tell the cashier the rack said $5. He tells me how horrible their garden dept is about adjusting prices because they don't have to deal with the customers. Anyway he looks online and sees a similar one for $5 but he's confused because it says 2.0, and I'm like maybe it's a 2 inch pot (they're not. They're like 4 inches). And then after some great acting for the cameras, "oops I accidentally ripped the label and now they won't scan at all so I'll just honor this $5 online price." 

 

And then and then this is my favorite part!

I only lifted one baggie to take a photo but a few of the 19 pots of these seeds from @WaianaeCrider have finally sprouted! These are Kahuka (sp?) papayas and he says they're awesome. And my dragonfruit seeds look like a mat of grass.

And mentioned elsewhere I also snagged a 15 pound 4 foot inflorescence of what I believe are Sabal Mexicana seeds. It was a great freaking day. Got bogo on my vape juice too.

Literally just planned to buy lumber, plastic tubs, and a birthday cake for my mom. The rest was all surprises. I'm happiest about the papaya sprouts.
