Signs of Spring

Living in a townhome, I don't have the biggest property. I have a small flower bed in my front yard (northern exposure) and a mixed garden in the back (southern exposure). Obviously, I see signs of growth in the backyard for some time before anything really shows up in the front.

These pictures were taken April 19th and showcase some of the plants that have shown some new buds in the backyard.
