Today is just a continuation of yesterday - keep those little seeds washed as regularly as you can up to a few times a day.
At the time of writing this, we’re experiencing some very hot weather so the seeds are quite advanced now and are sprouting well. You should certainly be seeing some ‘tails’ on your seeds by now. Day 4 will be the same as today and we should find that we’re close to being able to plant them.

This morning you should have drained your wheatgrass seed as instructed yesterday. Today is also very simple, it’s all about keeping that seed washed. Don’t worry, you can still do this if you work during the day.
I like to use a sieve to drain the seed and then wash it through. Then when it’s washed I’ll leave it in the sieve over a bowl. If I’m using a larger quantity of seed that won’t fit in a small sieve then I’ll just leave the seed in the bowl once drained.
Wash the seed at least a couple of times throughout the day. You can wash it before you go to work and leave it until you get back, no problem. What we’re doing here is sprouting the seed up to a certain point that enables us to plant them in the trays.

So at last, here we go with the wheatgrass growing! Sorry to everyone who’s been waiting for the instructions, things are very busy for me at the moment, more on that in another post.
By now you should have bought the few essentials needed to get going, I mean, you’ve had the time to get them! :-)
Day 1 is very easy indeed. In fact, there’s nothing needed during the day, all you have to do is soak your seeds overnight…
That’s it! No timing needed when soaking, overnight works great. Just so you know, at the start of day 2 we’re going to drain the seeds, wash them and leave them in a bowl to sprout, which won’t take long in the hot weather we’re having in the UK at the moment.
See you tomorrow.

Just a quick note to say that I’m now going to be away for part of next week so won’t be at home to attend to my wheatgrass. Which means that I’m going to give you an extension and delay the start by a week! Actually, it normall wouldn’t be a problem to grow it while I’m away but seeing as I’m planning to photograph it and put it on my blog, it poses a bit more of a challenge.
So…..next Monday then, wheatgrass growing shall commence!

How do you fancy growing the freshest and strongest wheatgrass like the picture on the left? That’s my wheatgrass from last year and it was so simple to grow that’s it’s really worth all the (very little) effort. I was having a fantastic dinner with friends on Saturday night and during conversation realised that not everyone knows how simple it is to grow wheatgrass, especially now we’re in the perfect time of year for growing outdoors.
So what I thought I’d do is get everyone to grow some together in ‘real-time’. I’ll be growing wheatgrass and posting my instructions and photos for you to follow along, it’ll be like a little on-line class :-) Told you I was turning into a computer nerd! Am I setting myself up for disaster if my grass doesn’t grow? I’ll be exposed! I’ll tell you now, if it doesn’t grown I’ll be buying some from Aconbury Sprouts and photographing it as my own!!! Only joking of course…someone has already asked me if that is really a picture of my own wheatgrass! Oh ye of little faith. Of course it’s mine, and I shall prove it!
Anyway, we’ll be starting next Monday which gives you plenty of time to get the few bits and pieces we’ll be needing.
Read on to see a list of your ‘class’ materials…
