So i got out of shopping and crowded places. Down side it was my ex wife doing my shopping. But hey, now all i have to do is closer take my kid (i spent way too much on him today, his mum yelled at me when i ok'd purchases) to bunnings to buy my grandma a token window sill suculent, my grandpa a token cactus and my mum an oddball plant. I really hope i can find another pineapple plant. I got her 1 last year and it matured so she had not only a talking point but a pineapple. They take 2 years to mature so if i can find one, ill buy that so she can have alternating pineapple plants so 1 per year. Honestly i reckon for mum the pineapple was the most random but most thoughtful gift ever from me. And a tonne cheaper then the phone i bought her. So christmas is almost done.

Buy a pineapple from the greengrocers, gently twist off the head, peel back some of the leaves, you'll see the roots already growing underneath them and plant in some decent potting mix. It should be rooted and growing by Christmas. If you're lucky sometimes they leave the heads on the super sweet hybrid varieties.
The mrs is a chef and brings them home all the time. We've got a fair few and because they've been planted at different times we're getting fruit regularly now. She bakes a mean pineapple upside down cake.
