I found a lovely little container at the Thrift Store recently. I gave it a coat of white paint (it was an ugly patina red before), put some rocks in the bottom and soil on top.
I threw in some wheat grass seed and wah-lah...
These seeds sprouted within days! I think the picture above is like the 3rd or 4th day.
True WHO?
(Check out the border in the background. I am in the process of removing it but lost my umph when I realized there is no avoiding bruised armpits reaching over my "beloved" oak cabinets to scratch and claw dated border. Sigh.
Speaking of which, I finally have husband convinced to let me paint the oak cabinets white. This is a MAJOR feat on so many levels.
One, he's a mountain boy.
Two, he's a wood loving man and
Three, he admits that he doesn't envision things very well and
he's asking me when I'm going to do it!
Now normally, I would be on that like a fly on a cow patty, before he changed his mind but this falls about midway on the priority list and anyway, if it doesn't turn out I can always say,
"well, YOU kept begging me to do it!"
Okay, sorry to veer off but if you've read this blog one hot second, you know how I love a tangent.)
Isn't it cool?
I could have sworn I saw the Easter Bunny puttering around in there this morning!
Barely grass has tons of nutritional properties. I intend to juice it since I'm trimming it every 4 days or so anyway but haven't tried it yet.
If you want to try this, get wheat grass seed online or at the health food store.
Soak the seed in water and change out the water every 12 hours or so for 2-3 days or until it sprouts.
Spread the seed generously over soil and lightly cover with more soil.
Water often.
