Good ol' Sunshine

I was having a hard time getting the wheat grass that I planted to thrive indoors, so I took it outside to get some sunshine. Look what happened almost over night. Really went from none to some in 29 hours.


We really have been thriving over @ our home but seemed to have plateaued a bit. Just needed a little extra dose of some of that thrive booster so we tried out the good ol' sunshine for ourselves. I can't believe the girls really got into the pool. They loved it. Who cares if they missed their naps today.


PS - I got the above mercury glass votives for .50 cents a piece and when I needed to plant some wheat grass they worked out perfect. I love it when that happens. Thank goodness for clearance @ Marshalls.

What seeds do you plant to grow wheatgrass?
Sorry if this is a totally silly question!

Cheryl said...

I love watering plants and seeing the pretty flowers bloom! The wheatgrass looks so cute in those cups. You are so creative!! I loved the Easter cookies too. I will do that with the grandkids next year!

Jamie - They were actually harder to find for me. I just found them in the front of Whole Foods where they sell their other seeds to plant in a garden. The seeds are actually just called wheat grass seeds.

Hope that helps.
