    So, back in March I ordered six Feijoa plants from Amazon. A week after they shipped I got a notification from Amazon that my package was lost and they could resend the order or cancel the order.

    I said resend. And they sent more plants. They weren't in great condition and only half survived so I was a little miffed but let it slide because I already had one Feijoa and four Feijoa should produce more than enough fruit for my family.

    Yesterday morning I got notified that I had a package arriving (original estimated delivery April 1st), the original order of Feijoa that the package got lost. (Even though that order got cancelled and a new one sent in its place).

    Wasn't sure if this was a software glitch, or I was going to get a package of six dead plants that had been bouncing around America on a delivery truck for months.

    Sure enough, that evening, box by my front door... Opened it up... Six healthy little Feijoa plants... I'm guessing what must have happened is the lost package got returned to sender... They didn't realize Amazon had already replaced the order so they sent it back out again with new plants.

    So now I have ten Feijoa plants total and no idea where I'm going to plant them... I'm going to have to clear more trees to make room. (Actually, probably just give some to my Mum).

    But also French, so you do have a couple of berets and blue and white striped jumpers for when you cycle to town to get your garlic.

    I actually wasn't sure so did a Google Image search for "stereotypical frenchman" and saw more garlic than onions. Though onions was my first thought.
