A grass for your pet

If you are a pet owner like us you probably purchase wheat grass at the pet store from time to time. Wheat grass can be too expensive sometimes so I tried plating it myself. It worked perfect so I wanted to share this with you.

Purchase some wheat berries at the health food shop.

Soak them overnight, rinse and plant in a shallow pot with a drainage hole. I covered my seeds with about 1/2" of soil on top. Water it thoroughly and place in a sunny spot (no direct sunlight). Mist it daily and watch the little green spears appear in about 5 days!

The grass will live about 1 month with proper care. I do not let my dogs to get to the pot because they are getting so excited that they pull the grass out in seconds. So I cut little bouquets with sharp scissors and tie them with one stem. My babies are very happy!
