First pick of the season

It was sweet, juicy, organic and perfect.

Did I think of taking pictures as we cut into it

and scarfed it down?

Nope.

 And we now have a bumper crop going on.

 There are seven pineapples in various stages

of growth.

 It appears they love the front yard and they love the light from the morning sun.

I cut the tops off of the ripe ones

and clean the pineapple off

 

and put the top in a glass of water and wait

for roots to grow.

Nothing better than fresh pineapple.

And its even better when you grow them yourself.

And can call them organic.

No pesticides.

At.all.

And we have 5 that have become harvestable over the last few days.

And we've been whacking them up and eating them.

So other than taking a picture of this gorgeous one. the rest

will be left up to your imagination.

I have been rooting and planting the tops for a few years.

I started with a store bought pineapple and

after you whack the top off you need

remove all the pineapple and take it down to 

the top bottom. (You'll know it when you see it).

I put them in water and get some good roots going on but

you can stick them right in the ground if you want.

They do love a morning sun.

It takes a couple years to get your first one so patience is required.

So after the first 2 years and since I have about 8 plants

we have been harvesting them almost every year.

You know when they ready when they're more or less golden and

when you touch them, the fall off the vine. (so to speak).

Our pineapples have evolved into sweet and juicy fruit that we

eat straight out of the husk with no frills.

And we have been eating at least one every other day.

YUM!
