Did you know (tho' it's undoubtablly too late this time, you can know for next time) that if you cut off the top of the pineaplle, snip away the leaves right at the base, and plant it in good houseplant dirt, you can grow a pineapple plant? I've never managed to get a pineapple out of it, but I did manage to get a pineapple that was probably over six feet in diameter. . .hence I had to get rid of it, because in such a crowded house there is absaloutely no room for an unproductive citizen. But not everyone gets such a huge one, so you might just get a small pineapple plant. Anyway, when you get some more window space, you might consider it.
It was in my bedroom. My bedroom that was actually smaller than it is now. But at least it was only being shared between two (Cadie and I) instead of the three we have now. It's actually not a tree, per say, though I'm not exactly sure what to call it. It doesn't grow like a palm tree--stalk, and then leafy head. The pointy leaves just get longer and longer and longer and longer. . .(It's supposed to eventually send up a stalk, with hundreds of beautifully scented white blossoms on it. Then all the blossoms fuse together, and turn into the pineapple fruit, and more leaves start growing from the top of the fruit. Alas, but I've never seen this actually happen, but you can see why I tried!!)

ReplyDeleteHmmmm...that's a cool idea! I might sneak that pineapple trick of titi's.
ReplyDeleteFresh Pineappple~my newest and greatest love (in the category of food, that is.)
cool idea! I laughed imagining a pineapple tree of that size in your house, with people sidestepping its large girth.
