Would you believe I planted this 1 week ago?? This is one of my favorite plant babies - they grow so quickly and are so cute! Seriously, you can almost watch then grow during an episode of "So you think you can dance." "Liquid Sunshine" variety of organic wheatgrass. I just planted more to thicken up the look, we'll see how it goes!
Had some fun placing my Polish birdies next to it.
Love the wheat grass and container! I used pink plastic flower pots with fluted rims ($1.00 each at dollar store) and sprouted wheat (from food storage) in it. When the grass was about 6 to 8 inches tall I tucked in cut daffodils and small pink flowers I found in a friends yard! I then tied yellow and white gingham checked ribbon around the top (leftovers from a previous RS presidency in our closet) and placed them on small yellow cloth napkins (also from a friend) and that on top of $1.50 a yard turquoise material with yellow and pink and white crossed lines. I made 9 arrangements plus the tablecloths...for centerpieces for our RS birthday dinner and did it all for under 18.00 dollars! Afterwards I clipped the wheatgrass for bread and another cooked dish, and tossed the dirt and roots back into the compost pile, and washed the pink pots, rolled up the ribbon, and washed and folded the tablecloths for another occasion. Only loss were the daffodils! Yep...wheat berries do come in handy...and grow fast enough that these pots were ready for adding flowers in 6 or 7 days from the time I put in the dirt! Love it! Now if I could just figure out how to attach a photo so you could enjoy mine as I enjoyed yours and your enthusiasm!...the Polish birdies are so cute!
