Our first pineapple from the garden

Our first pineapple from the garden... just a little one but very juicy and sweet.  The elderly lady we brought the property from has planted dozens of these around the place - all in different stages. It takes 2 years for a pineapple to grow and flower (fruit)... so if I plant about 500 each year I might just be able to keep up with Mr Macgregors demand for pineapple juice and for eating...

So lovely to pick and eat things from your garden... bring on the dry season so I can make a good start with my vegetable gardens...
