Tropical Fruit Discussion / Pineapple Pups
« on: June 12, 2015, 09:01:44 PM »
Not sure what the proper terminology is, but this is new this year.
For 20 years we've replanted the crown of the pineapple after eating. And Grandfatherbear asked me to stop whacking off the new plant that grew from where we had harvested the old plant. So now we have a lot of pineapples that are 2 plants high...and suddenly, they are all growing little pineapple crowns from about 2/3 way up the plant. I snapped 6 pups off one mother, and planted- they were about 3- 3 1/2 inches long, I was about to do more but it occurred me they might need to be bigger before being snapped off and transplanted.
So how big should they be?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Whats with the Tropical Vegetable Forum?
« on: June 01, 2015, 09:37:44 PM »
Yes, I just recently joined. But my sign-in was good for tropical fruits, citrus, temperate fruits. Then I moved to the Vegetable board and my login changed to Guest.
I tried to log in and was told my user name didn't exist.
So I tried to reregister and was told that I didn't answer the confirmation questions properly. Well, the letters were exact, no problem there. But AFTER the letters, the second question was- What color is an onion? Off hand, I can think of white, yellow, green, and red. Maybe purple. But there are gray shallots. Does that count??
Apparently, onions are some other color than the ones I know.
I kinda DID want to participate in the discussions there. But since I can't sign in there, I can't ask what the deal is. So I'm up here in the Fruits forum, wanting to know what the deal is on the Tropical Vegetables forum.
Hope someone can explain it to me. I'll check back in tomorrow.
