Watching grass grow online is a little grainier than watching it in person, but since the live feed updates the picture every couple of seconds, it gives the impression that something's actually happening which is more than you can say for staring at the backyard. If you're not the patient type, there's also a time-lapse video that shows an entire year of hot, grass-growing action condensed down into just a few minutes. The site also has amazing background music (speaker warning!), a 'super-size' viewing option and quite the sense of humor.
