My family lunch went well, and what i bought for my mum was well received and quite the conversation starter. My mum is an avid gardener and she wanted some native bush but when i was plant shopping with my son we couldnt find one. So we bought her a pineapple plant with a pineapple growing on it. She was not expecting that for her fruit and veg garden, in a good way. The 2 kickers is 1stly i dropped stuff off at my grandparents on sunday and yesterday, all the really old people in the retirement village my really old grandparents live in all go visiting their really old friends to drop off cards etc and having a pineapple plant in the livingroom creates a lot of conversation which my grandpa likes. And second, my mum got really excited when i said to her when its ripe orginise a family bbq and we will do ham steaks with bbq pineapple. She likes any excuse to get the family together.
