Wheatgrass can be grown indoors or outdoors. A common method for sprout production indoors is often on trays in a growth medium such as a potting mix. Leaves are harvested when they develop a "split" as another leaf emerges. These can then be cut off with scissors and allow a second crop of shoots to form. Sometimes a third cutting is possible, but may be tougher and have less sugars than the first. For growing outdoors, the preference is full sun, mesic to dry-mesic conditions, and soil containing loam or clay-loam. Some varieties of wheat (winter wheat) are planted during the fall, while other varieties (spring wheat) are planted during the spring.| Watercress |
