Leafing out

Overe here , most plants - certainly those grown in containers, have leafed out now.
Time to pick up my camera and make some shots

Good morning sugar,

always great pictures, thanks! Keep your fingers crossed, it is pretty early in the year. Image upps, my babies need some watering. We have a crazy summerlike Image weather out here with highs around 24°C and the last precipitation (which fell like this: Image ) we had, was at the end of march.

Greets and happy eastern!

My plants have all the water they need all year long. Most of my plants are container grown, and the base of the containers is in a 1" water tray (except some cultivars that don't seem to like those wet conditions) from spring till fall

Beautiful shots, sugar. It will be a few more weeks before leaves unfurl in my garden.
Your pics make me very impatient to see the hostas again.

Ugh, I'm suffering from a bad case of hosta envy. I don't even have any eyes up yet!

Your photos are gorgeous! :beer:

I've got some eyes poking out now and my Raspberry Sorbet has some leaves showing. It seems to always be the first one to appear and leaf out. I LOVE all your pics! That 'Cherish' is just so adorable! :D
