Here in Georgia, it has been a long, cold, cloudy, rainy winter. Monday was the first day that we walked through the Cherokee garden looking for signs of spring. There was one little bloom on the Hepatica and the Trout Lilies are trying to push their w ay up through the leaf mulch. The native plants are getting ready to end their dormant period and it is now time to dust off the old laptop and start blogging again about our wonderful native plants and their Cherokee uses.
