Easter Grass!!

So while I was checking some of my favorite blogs today I came across this idea... This mom always has cute ideas, but what made it more fun and exciting to me was her link to our very own cousin... Lisa!!
I remember when Lisa was first married and had the cutest container of wheat grass growing. Since then I always wanted to do that but when I would remember Easter was already over and gone. So today I venture out to find the perfect container for my wheat grass!

If you plant your seeds today, you'll have gorgeous wheat grass in about a week.
Easy directions:-Fill and level your container with potting soil. Leave about an inch of space at the top.-Place an even layer of wheat kernels on the soil. It should be a pretty solid layer with only a little bit of dirt showing.-Water daily. Keep the soil pretty moist. For a 6-inch container, I would pour in a glass of water each morning.That's it. You'll see sprouts in about 48 hours. And wheat in about a week. The wheat won't look great for ever — some people trim it with scissors to extend it's life — but I prefer to just replant. Apparently you can also juice it. But in my life, its beauty benefits outweigh its health benefits.
