My Pineapple Plantation.

I posted in the miscellaneous edibles section last winter about pineapples and what I was doing with them.

I have put the link to that thread here and as you can see with a few pictures and the progress.
Old thread.

For your viewing pleasure this first picture is instructional showing how to trim the pineapple.
You will see the the meat has been removed and the lower leaves pulled off.
just cut little by little till you see this and you will be ready to put into moist potting soil.

This picture shows two plants that have taken root and on their way to becoming pineapples.

The one on the far right is the one I had the devil with last winter, but it is doing much better now.
The one to the left is from about 2 months ago, it is also doing fine.

The two plants you see on the far left are two plants I potted up today with the dead leaves trimmed off.

I will keep everyone updated and will continue to start new plants as fast as I can eat pineapples.

There is enough space in my yard for a raised bed to grow about 24 of these things and that is where they will go.
There will be winter protection for them there.
