Growing Pineapples

Um, well, they need an iron rich soil, and that's about the extent of my knowledge.

Get yew a volcano. < That's mine.

The secret to growing pineapples is conversation. That's right -- you need to talk to your plants. A brief conversation in the morning, about an hour or so, and a soothing goodnight conversation, say around 2 hours, should stimulate growth and cause your pineapples to be the envy of the neighborhood. People might give you strange looks when they see you talking to your pineapples, but to hell with them. What do they know.

And songs! Pineapples love songs. Sing to them, Rae. Sing your heart out.

If I think of anything else... I'll let you know.

Good luck,
Gus

All my favourite mins!

Iron rich soil, a volcano and singing. Thanks guys.

I think. :wink:

ya know, getting a working volcano with iron rich soil is going to be a logistical nightmare.

my advice is to just go to the grocery store and buy one, and sing as you slice.

pueo!!

Sound advice ~ thanks!
