Thanks for sharing. As I commented to someone at WordPress, people spend so much money to go to far away places, when there is so much to discover right around us.

Thanks. I hope you have been

I make my own pineapple jam

I make my own pineapple jam from fresh pineapple. That is how I got the tops to plant. This will be the first time I can make the jam from my own pineapple. Mine taste better then what you buy in the store. It is like the jam that sits on the top shelf with a big price on it in a pretty jar.I have a step by step recipe from a year ago on my food blog.

I use the jam to cook with sometimes. I use it to make cookies and filling in cakes. Mostly we just eat it on toast.

I have been watching you tube videos tonight on when to cut them and how to keep my plants healthy. I have some suckers that I can use also to make new plants. I found out that they like fish emulsion which I have. The orchids get feed with that once a week. Also I can put an apple core in the center of the plant and let it stay for a couple of weeks. It will make the plant bloom. I didn't do anything with the plants just gave them some fertilizer a couple of times. They did this on their own.

I do love fresh pineapple, but it's so much work to get into it! I'm sure you have a trick or two - what do you do with it? Just chow down or use it for something special?

In reply to Awesome, momoe! Thank you

It has been gruesome with the latest news. Just thought I would do something light.

Orchids are not something you get to grow just anywhere they take special care and conditions. It is fun to just share my collection with everyone here. It is the same thing with pineapple. It is the symbol of hospitality in this country since colonial days.
