Growing Grass

Last week, my coworkers and I took a mental health break from the office. Our office was recently flooded by a blown water heater. What used to be a claustrophobic, windowless workplace was transformed to a moist, dank claustrophobic and windowless basement (not to mention the discovery that the walls were filled with asbestos).

All of us were shared the boxed-in feeling of death and dying. We decided to go to Home Depot.

One of my coworkers was intent in buying something alive and green. We're both outdoorsy people and I understood how she missed being out in the wilderness. I also thought it would be a good idea to buy a plant to remind me of the outdoors. But instead of buying a simple houseplant, my dorky ass decides to grow a pot of grass. I buy a planter, two bags of potting soil, and some grass seeds. Brilliant!

I got home and researched growing grass indoors (here are two articles). Apparently, it's not as dorky as I thought. Some people grow it for the sheer pleasure of bringing the outdoors in, but I also learned that others use it for their cats. Who knew I shared interests with cat people!

I am proud (as a kindergartner) to report that the seeds have sprouted! I beginning to see some green blades coming out of the soil. I'm sure you're as excited as I am, so I'll make sure to update you on it's progress. Yes, I'm dork.
