The baby pineapple is looking more pineapple-like by the day! Technically it's just a bloom at this point - a very bristly bloom! It will soon be covered in purple petals, and then it will be on its way to being a delicious fruit.

I have a total of three pineapple plants that I've grown from pineapple tops. This is the second one. The first one fruited last year, and I grew a third plant from the top of its fruit. I grew the first two plants from the tops of store-bought pineapples. They're surprisingly easy to grow, though they're tender, so they have to spend the winter in the house.

#pruning advice please! I thought this little #CherryTree was dead; is it too late to do a winter pruning? Our cold weather was about two week of frosty nights, last month. The buds are showing green, just.

Also, all the buds are at the very ends of the branches - *can* i prune them without starving it? Prune a fraction, maybe?

I’m trying to follow _Grow A Little Fruit Tree_, am at the 3rd year.

Papaya for Breakfast

Papaya for Breakfast is a watercolour painting showing a glass and a glass plate with a papaya cut in pieces, ready to eat, on a decorated tablecloth with a blue background. The green of the skin and the black of the seeds set off the orange colour of the papaya fruit flesh.
