Pineapple in UK
Hello,
A couple of months back I asked about growing Pineapples in the UK and the chap at the garden centre and some people here at urg said they would not ripen because they would not get hot enough. I'm posting to say you were wrong! I had two plants both in the green house, but I put one of them under plastic to give a double greenhouse effect. This was not necessary, all that happened was the soil kept drying out quicker (which you would expect since because the plastic was making it hotter...) Both fruits have now gone yellow. The stalk was straining under the weight of the fruit so I figured it was time to harvest them (when is the right time?) and I have just eaten one; it was delicious! Only fist-sized though, so a bit smaller and much more expensive than a supermarket one, but nothing beats home grown! |
