My darlings this weekend

Taffy won't let me work on the computer!

Teenie on the table

Found a place for the Chinese carved window frame

American bloggers do this:

I've been researching this Chinese window screen, and this pattern seems to have been made around 1880-1940. It's persimmon, or fruit anyway.

Trimmed the outside fence

Used Mum's hedger to trim the bougainvillea, plumbagos and pink coral around the fence. Needs to be kept neat.

Spare bedroom

Getting organised in there. It's gone through a few incarnations, but I want this to be the almost final one. The 'final' one will be when the whole house is renovated. $$$

I think Taffy approves

This may not be the final arrangement of furniture in here...

Earlier...

Leopard lily seeds

They are self-seeding now. I am trying to gather as many seeds as I can so I can spread them round the garden, and maybe sell some!

This is how they were:

and the seed-pods now 

Their seeds, when the pods open, are like bunches of blackberries, hence the name:

Blackberry Lily, Leopard Lily (Belamcanda chinensis)

I collected them in an envelope first then have put them on a plate to dry out, as per online instructions. Then will give some away.

Latest garden views 25 March, 2019

Blazing sunshine, 37 degrees C.

Still some parched lawn patches.

Garden mower-mulch on the beds, to slow down the moisture loss from the heat.

I have the luxury of some lovely shade in the afternoons.
