Super pineapples

Homegrown pineapples can add a tropical flair to your home, and a delicious accent at meal time. Twist the top off a pineapple, plant it in a pot of fertile soil, and then wait. In the spring and summer, place the plant outside in the sun. Give it plenty of water. If the temperature drops below 45 degrees, bring the pot indoors. It takes about two years for the plant to yield an edible pineapple. Homegrown pineapples are much sweeter than those from the grocery store.
