Joe and the Tiger
Uploaded: August 01, 2010 04:39:25
Whew! It's been a long 3 months! But, the Growing a Greener World website is looking nice, functioning well and no longer a 24/7 project.
I thought I'd start off the month with an image from my own (neglected) garden. I planted Joe Pye Weed to attract butterflies and it does a great job.
And Happy T~K~W day!
