WOW

After reading this article on planting pineapple tops, I decided to give it a try. I know the weather is getting cooler but I noticed the tops really needed to be repotted. Since I don’t live in Hawaii, I’m doubtful I’ll ever see any fruit but you never know!

Note, that unlike in the article I used regular potting soil and some old yogurt tubs with holes in the bottom to start the tops. Now they are in the soil mixture suggested in the article.

As it turns out I actually can grow things. My palm plant had a horrible battle with spider mites after my move to Colorado Springs, after which I almost gave up growing things. Lucky for me I decided a packet of hot pepper seeds looked particularly appealing while in Home Depot several months back.
