Hi all,
I bought a fresh pinapple today for the kids to try.(they loved it)
and I know there's a way to grow on the top as a house plant,
But , I don't know what to do with it and do I take all the flesh off the leaves part (I left a wee bit on in case I cut it too high.
Budding Titchmarsh is keen to grow a pinapple tree ;D ;D ;D
Please help! ::)
Thanks
I did a google for you and found this site. Hope it's of use.
Good Luck
Lauren ;D

thanks very much Doris and Lauren,
I've now figured where I was going wrong ::)
I was cutting instead of twisting the tops off (and I thought they were just suicidal) :P
Tomorrow morning after the school run I will buy another pinapple and try again ;)
So far this year I have managed to murder 2 pinapple tops,
2 blackberry bushes,
1 bed of garlic
1 bed of parsnips
3 grow bags of strawberries
and 24 pots of herbs
Thank God for Tesco ;D ;D ;D
On the bright side, I have millions of healthy carrots 8)
