Growing Pineapples

Today's subject of interest and eventual research, Pineapples. Here in Miami, it seems a natural to grow pineapple. Of course I was shocked to see my first plant. Our friends Bob and Debbie had a pineapple plant growing at every corner of their pool. She told me how she did it and I was inspired. I've found some others who are growing pineapples.

Here are links to pages that will be more helpful than if I write something on my own.
From Hawii a very informative article, heavy on the science. http://tpss.hawaii.edu/pineapple/pinegrow.htm

Worthy of note: Pineapples like acidic soil. To help that along, sprinkle used coffee grounds in when you plant it, and later around the plant.
