Using Praxxus55712 instructions we planted a pineapple. This is a first try for us. We will keep you updated on how it goes. You are welcome to try it out yourself and we'd love to see your results too!

what fruits are easiest to grow from the seeds in the produce? can u grow tomatoes or kiwis from the seeds inside? is there something u sd do to the seeds before you plant them in soil? i'm interested in fruits that can grow in containers in the tropics- lots of sun, heat, and rain. is it possible to grow raspberries or blackberries or blueberries in this climate?

@censored6x If you are in a tropical climate you can't go wrong with fruits and veggies that are native to that area. If you were to try things from different temperate zones you may be able to grow them as well. It might take more care, however, you can do it in some cases. As for using seeds from the produce section in a store... you really have to be careful that they are not Genetically modified (GMO). Often when they are, you can't grow the plant to maturity. -Randy

@GettingThereGreen

i dont know if the fruit here is genetically modified. i think it all comes from the states which probably means it is 99% nuclear waste. but i'll sneak up on it tonight and see if it glows in the dark. i dont care if the plant is a little immature. it probably thinks the same of me.

@censored6x ROFL! 99% nuclear waste... ROFL!!! The big problem with GMO seeds that come from the store is that they don't mature into a fruiting plant. Only way to know is to try and grow it and see. -Randy

When you grow it in a pot(with fertilizer) you should always grow it with organic Fertilizer or your pineapple could burn up

(best is home made fertilizer)

the battle is over. injuries were sustained by both sides, but i finally managed to twist its pointy head off. i pulled out a couple of leaves from the bottom but didnt see anything like roots. i plunked in a glass of water and its sitting next to an avocado pit which has just been slowly turning black, cracked, and slimy over the past 3 months. all my life i've been planting seeds like johnny appleseed but with very little success. nature is so cruel.

@censored6x ROFL!!! Twist from the base, it works! ;) -Randy
