Its easy to grow grass for indoor decor or even for your cooped-up cats to
nibble. And if you crave the taste of the freshest leafy greens, sprout
some without soil in just a week. Its not magic. Its simply indoor
gardening. And, its easy, inexpensive and fun.

GROWING GRASS
.
.
There are all kinds of grasses: the varieties that grow in your lawn, the
grains used in cereal, and the fancy-plumed ornamentals and natives.
Bringing them indoors adds a breath of fresh air to your home.
.
At the recent Antiques and Garden show in Nashville, one interior
decorator placed a low, rectangular glass container of grass on a table.
The lush green was eye-catching. Passers-by impulsively brushed their
hands across the buzz-cut grass, some bending down to catch its scent.
There is something captivating about finding the natural world indoors.
.
That inspired me to grow grass for Easter baskets to use as the base of a
table centerpiece. Forget that plastic stuff. I wanted some fairly
fine-textured grass, so I commandeered a bit of quick-growing fescue seed
from my outdoor lawn renovation project, and I grew it in shallow plastic
saucer liners, chosen to fit perfectly into my Easter baskets.
.
Using fresh, sterile seed-starting soil mixed with organic mulch, I
top-seeded the little trays pretty thickly, keeping them covered with damp
coffee filters, moist but well drained.
.
When youre doing this, its important to use sterile soil to avoid
pathogens that could infect your tiny sprouts. With a little faith,
patience and occasional watering, they germinated in about five days. I
uncovered them, set them near a bright window and watched them grow.
