Pineapple Time



Politics is wearing me out ... so here's a pineapple.

I know it's small, but we grew it in our yard and we snatched it before the birds did.

I'll let you know if it's tasty.

[The BLOG's editor: By the way, I grew up in New York City. so the fact that I grew this thing out of the earth is a very big deal to me.]

Very impressive. Let us know if you are the new Dole

Sandee said...

Yep, politics suck.

Very cool looking pineapple. One of my favorite fruits.

Have a fabulous day. ☺

Give me a pineapple over politics any day. Congratulations on the great gardening!

Cube, I can identify with that. When we lived in Tempe, we grew our own grapefruit and lemons. Nothing like going to the back yard and plucking a lemon when you need one.

Jan: I wanted you the first to know that, yes, I am the new Dole.

Sandee: I usually love politics, but only when they're blowing my way. This week is not my style.
As far as pineapples go, they're a favorite at our house. They're my kind of plant because they're so easy to grow.

Granny Annie: I think I'm always going to love politics, but, right now, I've had my fill with the DNC nonsense. As far as pineapples go, I love them because they're so easy to grow. Just chop the top of one and stick it into the grouud and you'll get a new pineapple. It's that easy. I love it.

Messymimi: Thank you for your congratualitons. It's funny that I would be posting a pic of something I grew because my parents are master gardeners. They graft incredible plants. One of my favorites was a small orange tree that they grafted four other citrus plants onto it and on one branch you'd get a tangerine, another a navel orange, another a tangelo, and I remember some grapefruit. It sounds Frankensteininan, doesn't it?
