What to do... ='(
While I was teaching my maid to do some gardening today, I found out that one of the 3 pineapple plants that I've planted have been destroyed by my naughty puppies. All that remains is a hole in the ground, lots of dirt by the walkway, and shredded pineapple leaves. What to do... ='( 2 Comments My girl just brought back half-dozen of really really high quality premium Pineapples from the plantation of the company she was auditing. These Pineapples are really sweet and extremely expensive. Knowing that these are premium breeds, I've decided to make future generations of them in my very own garden. Additionally, I'd love to share with you how I did it: 1st : Like Real Estate; Location!! Location!! Location!! Choose a location with ample sunshine (preferably morning sun), soft soil, a foot or more away from competing plants (sufficient supply of nutrients) 2nd : Cut the top leafy part of the Pineapple, along with at least an inch of the Pineapple flesh and skin (the Pineapple itself). Enjoy the rest of the Pineapple 3rd : Now bring the leftover Pineapple top that you've chopped off to your LOCATION. Dig a nice hole there, deep enough to cover the whole Fruit Part and about an inch of the Leafy Part (for safety). You may want to put some fertilizer there: Natural : Rice water, dead plants, pee pee & poo poo (Yours or your pets') Synthetic : Get them from plant stores 4th : Pineapples are pretty much maintenance free. Plant it, forget it. They grow pretty slowly too. Trust me, you'll actually forget about it. Let the rain and sun do their job. A few months to a year later, come back and check. The fruit forms in the middle of the Pineapple Plant. Initially, it will look like a red or yellow flower. The flower which will then transform into your Elixir of Life. If you want sufficient Pineapples to feed your family or your big appetite. Plant a few, about a foot away from each other. 5th : Enjoy!! |
