The grass is never greener on the other side of the fence. But, it is greener in my Easter basket! The Easter Bunny is planning a visit soon. March 31st is Easter this year- feels kind of early, right? So, if you plan one special thing for Easter this year, do this:
Plant real grass in the Easter Basket!!! And plant it today or tomorrow or your basket might not be ready in time.
I like to use Cat Grass. The seeds sprout quickly, the grass grows fast and the leaves are very thick so it makes for a nice looking basket.
Watch me demonstrate how to plant real grass in a basket
HERE.
For a couple of dollars, you can have real grass. If you have cats they apparently love to chew on this stuff (I don't really know I'm not a cat person). It's truly GREEN. It's so much better than that fake plastic grass that gets all over the house and adds to the landfill.

Here is what you need:
- Easter basket with plastic liner
- Potting soil
- Packet of Cat Grass seed
- Sunny window
- About a week
