Pineapples

I have always wondered how pineapples grew."Just plant the tops and in a few years you will grow another" someone once told me, so i began planting every pineapple top i could and sure enough, true to word, a few have started producing babies!

They need sun, water and a little food and a bit of time and true to what i thought was rumour they do produce!

The pineapple starts forming in the middle of the plant when the plant reaches a good size, slowly, slowly it will start to form and looks just like a pineapple only super mini!

It has a beautiful purple flower that appears with each developing spike on the skin, as the flower dies the spike develops and hardens.

The pineapple will slowly then grow bigger and bigger until it till it is ready for harvest.

Don't forget to plant the top of your newly grown pineapple so the cycle continues!!

Happy gardening!!
