Area Cat Grows Own Salad Greens

In an effort to be more healthy in 2013, a local kitty named Suzy has taken the bold step of adding a salad to every meal.  But all those fresh greens and veggies were getting expensive.  That’s why friends say she built an elaborate hydroponic growing system in her basement.

“The people at the garden center took one look at her shopping cart and started to snicker,” said roommate Chloe Bale, who helped Suzy assemble the subterranean garden.  "I think they assumed she was growing pot.“

According to Bale, the cat is producing four heads of romaine lettuce each week, along with arugula, baby spinach, alfafa sprouts, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers.
