HARVESTED PINEAPPLE, PLANTED ANOTHER


I have harvested the only pineapple in my garden and used its crown to plant new one in another bag.

The pineapple was so very juicy and tasted quite nice. I think it's possible another one may even shoot out from where I plucked the one harvested.


OTHER GIST
Why still wondering what to do with the torn sack that the mango tree is growing, I saw that the sack I planted Aloe Vera had also torn.

So this morning I got  the shovel again and transplanted into another sack by transferring soil in the torn sack to new sack - see pictures.

ANOTHER GIST
Do you know if you  want to get plenty of fruits from a plant, when the plant starts flowering, you should cut the flowers?. I saw that on a video on Social Media.

Since I want more chilli peppers,  I started cutting off the flowers -Gbam! The pepper plant is producing more fruits than what I usually get in one sack in the garden  - see ata rodo- chilli pepper from a small sack o!

I think cutting off flowers to get more fruits applies to most, if not all fruit bearing plants that flower - I am  going to test as many fruiting plants as possible.

Before I got to know this, there's an Okro plant also planted in sack in my little garden that was producing flowers - very lovely flowers- I will try post the picture if I can still find it.
I had never seen Okro plants produce such nice flowers. Around that period, I would admire the flowers when I sight them, allowing them to grow relatively big until they mature and withered.

To my surprise, the okro plant  produced just few fruits. I did not know then that the flowers I was admiring were taking the nutrients so not enough left for the plant to fruit bountifully.

So you choose o - when you plant crops, whether it is the beautiful flowers you want to be admiring or if it the fruits you want to chop😂.

I need to find out though if those lovely flowers on Okro plant have any beneficial uses - the more researches, the more knowledge in future farming endeavours for greater results/impact.
