The librarian on my job has been growing one for 4 years now. Finally I see the pineapple. She is so excited. I might want to try but you have to wait so long just for one. lolLibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071016583187622819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-66693610884160536922014-07-28T18:01:09.947-07:002014-07-28T18:01:09.947-07:00I would love to try this.

The climatic conditions in Georgia are not like in California where they grow many of them.<br />The problem here is always finding nutrient rich potting soil, moist is just mulched bark with very little in it.<br />The waterholding capacity of the local soil is very poor...<br />Sending you summer hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-74826537690495526842014-07-26T10:14:26.713-07:002014-07-26T10:14:26.713-07:00I really will have to try this next time I have on...I really will have to try this next time I have one.
