Presumably... but it might be like apple pips... you don't know what you're going to get for years...

Sounds like it'll be a struggle though...

I think it is easier to grow from the crown.
I would love to have a go, I so wish I had more windows sills.

very unlikely. When food is canned it often goes through a heat process to sterilise contents. This would invitably destroy any seed too.

...but this was a ripe pineapple, not canned.... if I had a good idea that I was going to be using the smae greenhouse for the next year or so I'd be asking if Jeannine had any spare seeds......

Welll I'll take a few and probably put some into Digeroos pass the parcel seed swap when it swings past me (or send them on to meet it somewhere :D)... As the annual epic onion seed growing is about to start the propagators will be in action for a couple of months from Christmas....

Hi Sam, and welcome to A4A, when did you sneak in? Did they give you a welcome somewhere else? What part of Yorkshire are you in/from?  :)

I am one of those 'lurkers' you hear so much about   :)

Originally from Hull (Many years ago) via Plymouth, Portsmouth and now live in Crook which is in Durham

I know Crook vaguely... stayed there once about ten years ago to do the wall and NT properties...
there's no law against lurking but nice to see you out in the open...  ;D
