One of my favorite things to decorate with in the Spring is wheat grass.
It's super simple to grow. It barely even needs a tutorial, but here we go anyway.
Start by buying some wheat berries at the store. I got mine at our local health food store for super cheap!
I soaked the berries in water for a few days. It seems to help the grass start sprouting a little bit quicker.
I searched through my cupboards to find various containers to grow the grass. I love the rusty crusty bread pan.
I bought regular all purpose potting soil at Walmart for $.99.
Then using my super fancy potting bench (or the kitchen counter) I planted the seeds. I put the soil in the container, then spread a layer of soaked seeds and covered them with a small amount of soil.
Wheat grass is simple and easy to grow, and it adds a fun spring touch to my home!
When it gets too long, the grass can be trimmed with scissors. When it starts getting to scraggly looking, after multiple trims, I throw it out and start some new grass.
I have this wheat grass thingy. Hmmm maybe I should or maybe not... *thinkin'*
