Default Texas pineapple plantation.

Well since I like agave and pineapple looks like an agave but is a bromeliad but they are both Monocots.
Well any who I found a pineapple at the store that looked more ripe than usual so I bought the darn thing.

Then I cut it up and ate part of it.
Then I was looking on the web to see what plant family it was from and found a site on how to root them.
So I trimmed off all of the flesh pulled the lower leaves sliced the bottom and low and behold just like the book said there were the roots.
Nice healthy roots I might add.

Now tomorrow I will get some cactus soil a pot and plant the thing.

In about 2 years if all goes well I will have my first homegrown pineapple.
This may start a new hobby for me.
