do you plant wheat grass? if you get it planted any day this week, it should be the perfect length by april 24th. instructions to plant wheat grass are simple…
- use good soil.
- fill your planter/pot/jar almost to the top with soil. i like to go about 1″ from the top. or, use a thin layer of soil. this is your choice – you do not have to have a lot of soil to grow the grass. i have had success using pots with drainage and without. if you are concerned about drainage and your pot does not have holes in the bottom, line the bottom with pebbles.
- lay a generous layer of wheat grass seeds.
- cover with 1/8 to 1/4 inch soil. very little.
- water daily.
the seeds should sprout within 3 days, and your grass will be growing fairly quickly after that… if you want to juice it, it should be ready within 15 days. i recommend purchasing your wheat grass seeds in bulk from a health food store or market, it will be MUCH LESS than buying it as seed packets from a nursery, etc. i found seeds locally for about $1.50/pound at sunflower market. my wood box planters are from ikea here. i also used these, so we are going to have wheat grass everywhere!

What an adorable idea! Where did you get your fabulous tablecloth? I'm smitten with it!
posh petals… {thank you!} my tablecloth is simply 3 yards of fabric from ikea. it usually runs $7.99/yd., and when i used it at this party…i didn't even hem it. don't judge! 🙂
