The brilliant colors of Fall are beginning to blaze here in the Ozarks. I see crim
son blushed sumacs nestled among the stalwart green of the oaks. Oaks are the last trees to change color, calmly keeping their glossy green raiment as a lovely backdrop to the riotous colors of less sedate trees. Acorns and walnuts rain down and the grass grows with spring-like abandon.
All of this color and abundance tends to make me forget we are heading into the cold, drab days of winter. Days when all is quiet and still and where growth happens unseen below fallen leaves and brown grasses. I always long to take some green with me into winter and this year I am determined to do so. I have spent the last month designing a hydroponic system for growing wheat grass. The idea was to be able to feed the few critters I want to add to our home without having to depend on outside hay. I accomplished this, but since I am currently “critterless” with the exeption of a few cats, I am now considering using it to grow salad greens all winter. What can be better that eating a fresh picked salad as I watch the snow fall outside?
