I came home from work and was told by hubby that I had a job that had to be done. Not knowing what it was he was telling me I had to do, I was just a little puzzeled by his statement. He told me that I had to bring in the harvest. Look what my pineapple has finally done! Small, but smells so good. Only about enough for a sweet taste for us.

Congratulations! It's so cute! Almost to cute to eat... :)

Congratulations! I have a plant but no harvest.

Good job harvesting...

Looks so yummyyy!

It looks so sweet. Now plant the top of this one *

I fully intend to do that too. The top of this one is so pretty.

what a tempting pineapple.

looks good. when you cut the top off the pineapple you can make a new plant from it by cutting the top about 1/2 inch down from leaves and leaving leaves on you cut a channel about 1/4 inch in from edge and not quite to the skin deepand about 1/8th inch wide place it on a tissue to remove excess moisture and then sit it on a damp cotton wool (like kids do when experementing with wheat. when roots appear plant out .

Looks delicious - enjoy the FRUIT of your harvest! *4U

How neat...............*4u

Yumm... I can almost taste it.

So pretty. How neat!

That's amazing. I didn't know that they grew from such a small plant. I love pineapple. I wonder if I can grow 1 in San Francisco. hmmmm *4 your plant. lol

I bet you can - It is not hard to do, or I would not have been able to get it to grow. I am known for my black thumb.

Wow! Now if I was told to bring in the harvest and it was only 1 pineapple I would be over the moon. I know you would have been also. Watching this beauty grow. This is amazing. Eat and savour the taste. My mouth is watering already. I am pleased you showed us your HARVEST.....

I don't have any bananas, but yes, there are bananas growing in Florida. They are what I call fingerling bananas. An again, they are very sweet.

Fresh pineapple is the greatest.

Just savor the flavor. There is nothing like the flavor from a fresth picked one!
