Pineapple Update

Checking in on the little pineapple that we have been following on Facebook, it is now actually looking like a pineapple, albeit a "mini me" version. Still a long way to go.

The plant itself is also beginning to sprout "pups" (second pic). These are new little plants forming that will eventually produce a fruit themselves. This plant has 2 "pups starting so far.

A pineapple plant fruits only once.

In the Garden

I'm taking advantage of the early spring-like weather to start cleaning out gardens. It is still too early to plant anything (but I may try lettuce), but at least the clean out will be done...I hope...

Some lettuce that I planted in bucket last year just may have re-seeded itself. And, a small lettuce plant may have actually survived all that cold and snow as well.

Daffodils are up as are hyacinths. I'm waiting for the Parrot Tulips that I put in last year. Leaves are up, now for the flowers.......

The Egyptian Waking Onions are also up. Checking now for strawberries and horseradish. Garlic looks good, but I don't think it all came up. :(
