Cat Grass

Cats love the sweet taste of fresh oat grass and crave the young, tender blades of grass. When the grass reaches 2-4" high, put it near your cats food or water dish for easy nibbling. It will even help keep your cat from eating your houseplants. Cat grass can be grown indoors year round on any windowsill in sun or bright, filtered light. It is a nutritious treat for your cat with essential vitamins and minerals. It will aid in their digestion, freshen their breath, and is even said to help eliminate hairballs. This grass is also safe for dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits to eat. Keep soil moist but not wet. |

Peanut
|
Peanuts are cholesterol free, high in protein, contain essential vitamins and minerals, and are often referred to as nutrition in a nutshell! Peanuts have clover-like foliage with small, yellow, pea-like flowers; they produce around 30-60 peanut shells per plant and thrive in loose, well-drained soil. Harvest your peanuts when the foliage yellows in late summer. Carefully dig up your plants, shake off the loose soil, and hang them in a warm, dry location for 1-2 weeks. Then, pull the peanut pods from the plants and air dry them for an additional 1-2 weeks. Your peanuts should not be eaten until well dried. |
