Easter Project ~
Plastic Easter Grass?…
Not this girl.
When our son was small, he used to say,
‘Mom, the other kids have plastic grass in their
Easter baskets…’ I’d tell him, I would
look into it:) It’s not too late to
plant a little wheatgrass in those Easter baskets & pails.
You can pick up the seeds at your local garden store.
Grab some organic potting soil and…
get planting! I’ve turned our old
pine island, off the dining room, into
a potting & painting shed of sorts.
Here’s what’s so cool…
the seeds start sprouting in only a two
days! (I’ll show you the finished product soon!)
As for the pails…these are a couple of old
galvanized numbers, I’ve had for years. I decided
to reinvent them with a little ‘Vintage’ Vert (Green)
chalkboard paint from
Martha, who else? What I l~o~v~e about this quick &
easy project is that because it is chalkboard paint…
you can personalize the pails once they’ve dried.
I opted to plant the seeds in terra cotta pots
because I plan to use the vintage green pails for
iced beverages at our summer soirees.
Either way, I hope you go
GREEN this Easter!

Two days? I’m going to give it a try. It took my amaryllis bulbs 4 months to finally bloom!!! They were meant for Christmas. Love these ideas, Monica. Hope you’ll share on the radio.

Great idea! My husband and I did this once many ears ago….and we even trimmed it with scissors when it got too long!
Love that green!
Only You…
I might try this, do I have enough time?
Someday, Court is going to teach his wife how to do this! No plastic grass for his kids!…..ha!
Can’t wait to see the growing grass! Awww, just love the smell!

There is still time to do this! Hope you pick up some wheatgrass seed packets!
