It was lovely! Beautiful blue skies, although occasionally it's overcast which my indoors plants don't like so much! Love the look of your morning view, and the gorgeous bougainvillea flowers. I actually planted out a purple leafed variety yesterday. I'm just starting to get into bougainvilleas. My husband has been trying to talk me into getting them for years, but I had memories as a kid, living in The Top End, of knarly, thorny bushes. But I'm coming to really appreciate them now, as potential nesting spots for little birds, plus they can survive in our climate. So it was lovely seeing yours out in bloom.<br /><br />Nice idea with the wicking boxes too. Here's hoping the tree roots don't cotton on! Some trees are darn persistent, wherever there's a water source. Instead of gravy containers, my husband brings home 10 litre tubs of empty ice-cream containers. Forever handy in the garden to mix soil, soak plants with fertilisers, hold compost scraps and even as regular containers for growing things - as you're doing too. Good luck with your new wicking beds.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-41713318784008727772020-04-10T12:50:32.306+09:302020-04-10T12:50:32.306+09:30Thank you Mary, so lovely to hear from you.

I did buy seeds just in case, but I prefer seedlings. I also have saved some of my seeds, and will definitely keep doing that.<br /><br />Have a lovely Easter weekend.<br /><br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-2331961526030695812020-04-10T09:47:08.439+09:302020-04-10T09:47:08.439+09:30So good to hear you have had rain Stephenie.

But you are right about the weather, it is going to be perfect lol!<br /><br />We thought about getting a freezer a while ago but put it off. Now I have extra in storage {because of the time we live in} so we can stay home, I had run out of room. And with all the extra cooking I am doing, I need to freeze the excess. When you are a stockpiler which I have been for many years, you have to have room to store things and that includes enough freezer room.<br /><br />Enjoy the weekend and the weather.<br />xTania<br /><br />Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-8152197077700938522020-04-10T09:35:26.514+09:302020-04-10T09:35:26.514+09:30Thank you Christine.

You were lucky to get some seedlings -none of the places I went to yesterday had any -and they had no seeds, either!

This season we have had tremendous rains and snowfall. It's such a relief after the fires and dry periods. I still went out for a walk, and took my Labradoodle and umbrella. Am hopping into the bathtub in a moment. I think I will add some lavender tea to the water and soak...

Getting another Freezer is a good idea. When we moved into this house over 8 years ago my big double fridge couldn't fit in the kitchen so I had to buy another one and I tried to sell the big fridge and no one was buying it so it sat in my front hallway for ages and finally I put it in the garage and thank goodness it didn't sell because I need the fridge and the freezer as the one in the kitchen isn't big enough. Have a good week.
