So... Anyone ever grow a pineapple?

[adrina]

It's that coldville thing.

Got a brief respite from the oncoming summer. 70/50 for the next couple days. Back to layers in the morning.

It's not spring for flowers, yet. But the rhubarb might be starting to come up.

Awe man. It's a hydroponic hyacinth and was hoping it would last longer. Serves me right for buying it. Should have bought something that grows year round.

Thanks adrina.

For a house plant with year 'round blooms, you could try an African Violet. People say they can be picky but really, I've had more luck with them than any of the so called easy ones. (I kill aloe. Yes, you read that right.) I just divided Violet about a month ago and now have two in pots and two in water in glasses I'm going to need to put in dirt as they have a ton of roots. All four are blooming right now. They send up flower stalks, when spent you pull them. Make sure you give them fertilizer and they'll send up more blooms. I've got purple but I understand they also come in pink.

I've got some seed germinated in my cold frame... but then it got too cold so they're sulking. All summer bedding like Nicotiana and Penstemon

Never fails ... Redbuds bud, and just begin to bloom .... then come the high winds.

Redbuds, sassafras, and dogwoods all blooming. Freeze warning tonight.

My pineapple plant produced a pineapple last year! Now, I have 10 pineapple plant babies. Maybe I will become a pineapple farmer

Instead of a dental floss tycoon?

I do have passion for good floss but there's no real growth in that field.

Plus, it's Montana.

That's a possibility for me. I'll take advantage of climate warming.

I sure hope my floss don't show growth.

Thank you adrina. I think I'll wait awhile (and do some research) before getting a new plant.

For now, I planted the hyacinth. I figure mother nature can do want she wants with it. Throwing it in the trash seemed wasteful.

Hyacinths grow from bulbs; next year there will be a new flower and maybe a bonus.

Is there a reward for capture and return?

I have a citrus tree poping out. I stuck a seed in a pot plant and it's growing.
Next is date tree.

Hey, you're back!



I don't mind sunflowers so much, but I'm not wild about the plants and stalks.

Dole stock down sharply in active sell-off.

I bought a pineapple. I cut it up to eat it. I have a pineapple top. I live in the subtropics. This shouldn't be rocket surgery.

Anyone ever grow a pineapple?

It only took 5 Years and 4 Months!

You might want to have a doctor look at that if your growing a pineapple

Oh no they still have the Dole Whip, they'll be just fine.

Will the pineapple’s execution and eating be covered in this thread?

We’ve waited a long time for that special day.

Nearly as long as LTR & sean’s “engagement”.
