Christmas Greens

The days are too short, the nights too long, and the coldest part of winter lies ahead. It's a good time of year to make soup and sit by the fire. The garden hibernates awaiting Spring. Now's the time to look through those seed catalogs and plan for warmer weather. We don't have a southern facing window in our home so Sharon acquired two Aerogardens to use for starting seeds. This winter, we've decided to grow lettuce in the Aerogardens. That's what they're really designed for ... to grow plants indoors year round. The plants are big enough now to start selective harvesting.

I don't know if two Aerogardens can meet our lettuce needs over the winter, but at least we're trying. I wish we had started this project at the beginning of October instead of December, but I can't find the keys to our time machine. Sharon's Christmas Cactus is blooming too. It's nice to have some greenery during the Holidays.

Charlie Brown (in desperation): Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?
King James Version Luke 2:
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

To those few who take time to read Scarred Bark, I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!
