And I liked it!
So this spring I bought several pineapples to see if I could grow a pineapple plant. All I did was cut off the top of the pineapple about 2 inches into the fruit part, plant it, and water it lots. After a few tries, I finally figured it out and voila! Here is one of my plants:
All the old stuff on the bottom of the plant is from the original plant, but the bright green at the top is all NEW! I am so excited, even though it might be 2 yrs before we actually get a pineapple. So now I have 2 pineapple plants, 2 orange trees, 1 grapefruit tree, 1 lime tree (that produces all year), an apple tree, a peach tree (or it might be apricot, I forget), grapevines (that have yet to produce anything), and a pineapple guava plant that doesn't produce anything yet either. Does this count as food storage?
I am still working on beautifying my blog. My 2yr goal is still in the works....I thought I'd clarify that since I promised to work on it 2 hours ago. ;)

For the record, she planted it and I take care of it. Just one of the duties of a house husband.
And you water it very well and have kept it alive! Thank you!
I think your blog is looking very nice. Also, I love Emily's video. I finally got around to watching it, I tried when it first went up was when it was not letting us view it and kept forgetting to try again. I am jealous of all of the trees you can grow in Arizona. We have pear and peach and apple, our apricot and plum died. Right now I am enjoying our raspberries though! Can't wait to hear if you get a pineapple on your tree someday!
