Sprouting wheat grass is super easy. Promise. Here’s my “i gots grass” post from last year. It has to be easy, or I wouldn’t do it again.
1. Gather some wheat kernels (I used hard red wheat) or go to your local health food store and tell them you want to sprout wheat grass and they should point you in the right direction.

not good. Next year, I'm going to do it 2 weeks before easter, and it should

it started looking SAD.
Hi! I've been wanting to do this so after I saw your post yesterday I bought some seeds. So did you sprinkle soil on top of the seeds or just leave seeds exposed? Thanks!! I'm excited to see it grow!
