Happy Halloween Friends!

Lots of aloha in our home this afternoon. We love carving pumpkins and pineapples!

Pineapple carving is a lot of fun and not difficult. One of these years it would be fun spend more time with the pineapple and make it really spooky! It already has the crazy hair!

Wishing you all an awesome Halloween! Stay safe Friends!

Thanks for reading my Diary!

Aloha!

PS: See my post from October 2013 for easy pineapple carving instructions.

Home Grown Pineapple

Aloha Friends!

Remember our baby pineapple from a few months back? He was just a little guy back in March but, look at him now!

We have been watching him grow over the summer. He was still mostly green when we left for Kauai. When we returned home 10 days later, we found that he was completely yellow and ripe!

We harvested our pineapple the following day. The scent of pineapple was heavenly, we couldn't wait to taste it!

After patiently waiting for months we gave it a try...and it was gross. Really nasty! It had a strange flavor...almost like it had gone "bad". Not sweet at all. How could something smell so good, but taste so awful? Do any of you know what may have caused such a foul flavor? Can they over-ripen on the plant?

Though my pineapple was a bit of a disappointment, I'm not discouraged. I'm going to keep trying to grow pineapple here at our home in San Diego. In fact, the mother plant is producing a little baby plant for me transplant. I'm hopeful!

Take care All.
