How to Grow the Alphabet
Supplies
- Small, inexpensive pot
- A few cups of potting soil
- Seeds (kitty grass, wheat grass, regular lawn-type grass, or chives all work really well)
- Alphabet-shaped cookie cutters
- Fill your pot with soil to about 1 inch below the top of the pot. Tamp the soil down with your hands.
- Place the desired letter on top of the soil in the pot.
- Sprinkle the seeds inside the letter only. You should use the entire seed packet so that the area inside the cookie cutter is pretty densely and evenly covered with seeds.
- Remove the cookie cutter and sprinkle soil on top of the seeds so that they are covered with about ¼ to ½ inch of soil.
- Gently water, trying to disturb the soil as little as possible.
- Place in a warm, sunny spot and keep the pot well watered
