Grow Your Own Pineapple!

A Step By Step pictorial guide

	First, pick a nice fresh pineapple. Cut off the top and leave it to dry overnight.
Next, pull off the ring of fruit and cut off any flesh to leave a clean, flat base. Leave this a few more hours to dry.
	Now pull off a few rings of leaves, working up from the base. You may notice some tiny rootlets between the leaves.
Pot the pineapple top into a small pot of well-drained, gritty compost. Water moderately and put somewhere in filtered (not bright) sunlight until it has rooted itself.

Here's one I prepared earlier...

This pineapple is about a year old here. When I took this picture I was hoping it would produce fruit. The cat (bottom left - black fur, yellow eyes) was hoping it would produce mice!
NEWS! The cat's luck wasn't in. But mine was. To see the proof... here's a picture of my pineapple.
