Day 1 12/3/2012 Lets try this again. I started off with a depressing song last time so here's something to make this more cheerful this time because that's what this is all about. Being cheerful whilst growing pineapples and I'm feeling really good about this one. I got this pineapple on Friday in Tesco. I picked it because it was the most attractive one there. The others looked crap. Anyway, I spent the weekend thinking about how I should go about doing things without failing. The first part of the procedure was to take off the top of the pineapple. I then peeled back some of the leaves to expose some roots and holy shit, look what I found. Now those are roots compared to what I had last time. What I'm going to do differently this time is that I'm not going to bother with the cup of water. The point of putting it in water is to give the roots an opportunity to grow so that it can be placed in a pot later. I reason that if I plant it in soil and keep it well watered, then the conditions should be similar and I won't have to bother with putting it in a pot later. I found this little pot in my garden that's the perfect size. So you can see here is the incredible work of a talented physicist and next to it are some books by some guy. Another thing I'm doing differently from last time is that I'm going to completely cover the shelf with a blanket so no light will get in at all. I think this was a small little thing that made my leaves go a bit brown last time which I assume is not exactly healthy for the plant. That's all for today. Hopefully, this doesn't fail horribly like last time. I feel a lot more prepared this time and the roots that are already present look promising. I'll be updating as I progress.
