Easter Grass

• 1 large Easter basket
• 1 lb wheat seed
• 1 lb vermiculite
• plastic wrap or clear plastic bag

Grow a miniature meadow in an Easter basket it's
real simple. A week before Easter line a large
Easter basket with plastic wrap and fill with
vermiculite (about 2-inches deep).

Sprinkle wheat seed on top of the vermiculite.
Put the basket in the sink and add water until
the seed bed is damp. You shouldn't have to
water it again before Easter.

Set the basket in a pan and place in filtered
sunlight. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a
clear plastic bag to keep moist.

Remove the plastic after two days. The wheat
should begin to sprout during the next few days.
By Easter morning you would have real Easter
grass to hide your eggs in.
