We went to Lowe's (home improvement) this morning, and I resisted buying plants though they did have purslane. It helped that the plants were SO overpriced, I couldn't justify $5 each for little pots. I lingered over the Mexican heather, managed to walk away. I came home with what I was looking for, 6' wooden stakes. I needed new ones for the Summer squash.
Also, I finally convinced my dh to let go of his bicycle, the one he's not ridden in 25 years. We took it to the dump, but as we were laying it against the big dumpster a gentleman asked if he could have it. Of course! I also took an old TV antenna that didn't work, and a collection of rusted, bent, and broken tomato cages. I'd snapped off most of the antenna arials but kept a few of the longer ones that were still unbent.
Oh, does it feel good to get rid of more unneeded stuff!
After the dump we stopped at the farmers' market. DH bought a container of strawberries and a tomato. I purchased a quart jar of honey, the real McCoy, not the adulterated junk that's being sold in the grocery stores now. It was an investment, I will savor it.
