Spring shoots.

Lovely photos Kate, spring is an exciting time :)

Kate, everything looks so lush in your lovely photos ... :o)

lovely photo's Katie. It is wonderful when new growth appears.

Such lovely studies of new growth in your garden. It all looks so fresh and new.

Strong winds here too!!

I agree its a wonderful time, very rewarding to go into the gardens, see all the new growth, spring flowers appearing, something new opening every day, even better and very satisfying to actually spend time tending to ones garden, even if its only a short time for whatever reason, its good for both body and soul.
With all the work that went on last year you'll enjoy tending to it, hubby can also relax...Unless ??? he already has plans for more construction, I couldn't resist adding that as I remember you saying he enjoys that part of it.... LOL... Lovely photographs Kate ...

Thank you, Hywel. You're right, Spring awakening! It gets us quite excited by the garden waking up and getting out there!

Thanks Julia, yes windy here yesterday and again this morning. 🙄

Thanks Klahanie, pleased you like!

Aw thanks Shirley, I just hope they keep looking lush and healthy 🤞
Ps. The sedum is one of your very lovely gifts!

Thank you, Eileen! Yes, you're right. We do get quite excited don't we! It's lovely to see new growth and signs of better weather and gardening days ahead!

Thanks, Chris! That's a lovely compliment 😊
Appreciate your message. Yes, March winds are definitely here aren't they!

Aw, thank you, Sue! Lovely message, it's really kind of you.🤗
It's has us all feeling cheerful and eager, the signs of spring in full flow! You're so right, Sue, even if we're only out pottering or mooching in the garden, it's definitely a wonderful form of therapy!
Thanks for adding the last bit, it made OH smile. His cogs are now going, top speed!
He does want to redo the raised railway sleeper bed. It's a square shape, he built years ago. It's starting to decay in places. So, watch this space 😉😊 x

Ha, ha ... no wonder it looked familiar!

🤗

Your garden must be looking very cared for … not sure if that makes sense! But lovely photos Kate, great to hear you’ve enjoyed being out there …

Aw thank you, Sheila, that's really kind of you to say. I think as it's a small garden front and back, it's easy to tend. I can swing a cat, just about! 😊
But, not my cat!

wonderful to see Kate

Thank you, Paul!

I'm with you Kate, as it is one of my favourite jobs this time of year!
You have a lot of new shoots too which is wonderful to see.
It definitely makes you feel good! I wake up to sunny mornings and by the time I am able to go in the garden to work, the wind gets up and it rains!

Thank you, Rose, I'm happy you like the blog. It's definitely that time now we are all itching to be out in the garden, isn't it!
I'm sorry that the weather changes when you get outside, but, you're right - lovely sunny mornings and we seem to cloud over and rain appears by lunchtime or later in the day..
Hopefully April will bring us finer weather 🤞

I enjoyed the close-ups, Kate. Detailed observation really helps us appreciate their individual beauty.

Thank you, Ange, that's very kind of you to say.

Lovely photos Kate, I love this time of year.

Thanks so much, Callie. Hope you are keeping well x

Such bright cheery photos of everything waking up in your garden Kate. Doesn't it lift the spirits when there are reasons to go out and check what's new each day, I love it!

To see the new shoots of spring making an offering of whats to come is one of the joys of a new gardening year and you have shown them of beautifully in your photos.

Thank you, Janey. You’re right, it’s that time of year, going out into the garden you see new things everyday! It’s uplifting!

Thank you, Phyl! That’s very kind of you to say. It definitely cheers the soul and is very exciting, getting back out there and enjoying our gardens!
