Pinyapel

I have unfortunately had very little time to work on getting a new system set up between work, and travel, and life. BUT I do have one thing to share.  This is a minor, but very exciting update.

My. Pineapple. Is. Fruiting. And it is winter in the Northeast.

Sorry for the orange tinge to the picture, I have an HPS lamp on it to compensate for the short days of weak light, I am hoping that come spring/ summer it will be in full fruit (right now it is about the size of a fist, or a little smaller) and I can move it outside to get the full glory of the sunshine.

It is also developing a couple of slips, which grow on the main stalk and can be rooted much like a cutting taken from the top, except from what I have read grow to fruit about 6 months sooner than a top will. So I may be keeping a couple of plants around!

That is all for now,

Namaste
