I love looking through the pottery barn catalog. I love a lot of their stuff but not really in the position to spend all the money for it. I loved the grass as a centerpiece though. I saw some wheatgrass at the grocery store and thought it looked the same so I went on a hunt for wheatgrass seed. After going to three stores trying to find the seed I was told it was just hard red wheat. (since then I've seen wheatgrass a few times in blogland, maybe i'm the only one dumb enough to go searching for wheatgrass seed?) So I got out my food storage and copied pottery barn. Between this and my failed attempts at making bread my wheat storage just might actually get rotated.
I think I'm going try and make a table runner for underneath. Maybe some day I'll have the nice dishes and table linens but for now I have sure loved having the green in the house, especially a few weeks ago when it was still snowing!
If any of you are interested in growing it. all you do is soak the seeds in water overnight (or 10-12 hrs) then let them dry for 10-12 hrs. Then you put them in some dirt, make sure it stays wet, and you'll see sprouts in a day or so. It lasts about 4 to 6 weeks. easy!
