Well it's time to start them in time for Easter or Spring time.
I love this cheap but fun idea. Plus is gives something for the little ones to look forward to.
Ok I'm not going to lie, I even find myself peeking in the room to see it grow.
Here's what you do....
find a favorite pot, bowl, whatever you think you would like. Big or small any size works!
get potting soil, and seeds. I found my grass seeds at Wally World for 6.24 but it is enough seed to last me 72 years.
fill your pot full of soil
leave about enough space for 1 inch to 1/2 inch from the top
place the seed cover the entire area so you don't see any soil
put a tiny bit of soil to cover up the seed
water a little bit and
sit and wait
and wait
and
wait
Olivia has already walked in the room 4 times today and said "Mommy it's not working"
patience little one, patience
Side note...I like to use a spray bottle to water these in the beginning, then the seeds don't seem to spread as bad.
And Wala! You should see little green grass within about a week.

You always do the cutest crafts with Olivia... Such a good mom!
Fabulous! Thanks for the idea - and plus, we can then transplant them to cover all the Vohl-holes! :) Just kiddin - don't you miss it?
Plus thanks for the itemized pics - since I'm a dope and wouldn't know what to look for. Seriously - it helps!
