Art told KC that since she helped to plant the papaya tree, she could now help to plant a pineapple.KC wanted to do it by herself.
She loved digging the hole. Art did have to stop her from making the hole too big.
Then KC transferred the pineapple crown from the container of water to the soil. You can see how roots have already started to grow.
Then she adjusted the crown so that it would stand straight.
Soil was pushed back into the hole.
The pineapple was given a drink of water and told to grow. Perhaps next year, KC will see a pineapple growing on top of the crown that she planted.
I started growing a pineapple a year ago Easter. Of course, here it has to be brought in during the winter. Last year it barely made it through, and it's not looking so good this year, either. I'm sure it will NEVER fruit!
ReplyDeleteThis is a story full of hope and tenderness. I love it.
ReplyDeleteCute! Hope the pineapple appears when she gets here next year, and not before or after! lol.
ReplyDeletegreat lessons being taught by grandpa!
ReplyDeleteThese are very nice pictures. Children love to help plant things. We had a small garden when my kids were little and they helped a lot, they liked to pull up the weeds. Have a Merry Christmas, and thank you for coming by.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I hope it grows -- both the love of nurturing Art is planting in KC, and the pineapple!
ReplyDeleteKC did a nice job planting the pineapple. hope it fruits well for her. have a great day.
ReplyDeletewell this was a lesson for me too, interesting. But that's such quality time you guys are spending with KC...wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet to see her at your place.
ReplyDeleteShe is getting so big and she will remember thses days with you and Art and of course great-grandma!
Merry Christmas to all of you and Jon and his girl too!

Well done, KC! I've never managed to get a pineapple crown to root . . .
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet! KC is so precious and what fun it will be for her to follow the pineapple's progress!
