IDEA: Pineapples?

Again, another one of my Pinterest finds. Growing pineapples! I have never been a fan of pineapples. I don't really like the taste or the texture. The texture just freaks me out. It reminds me of insects. Don't ask.

But I stumbled across this photo and I was so intrigued! I know it's not all that related to farming. But it IS related to growing! I've been really inspired by my IPRO to become more of a green thumb. Why? Because it's really cool to see your food grow right in front of you. I live in a small apartment and so it's been a challenge starting up my own garden but I have made it work with the small space I have.

That's why I loved finding this article about growing a pineapple at home (link).

For some reason, I always assumed pineapples grew on trees. Imagine my face when I found this image and realized pineapples were grown from these stumpy things! It looks really cool when it's growing. I might try this just to watch it grow then give the pineapple to someone else.

Anybody watch Psych?

Shawn Spencer and Burton "Gus" Guster II want you to grow pineapples!
