Every year a pineapple grows on my balcony. I plant pineapple tops and eventually a tiny pineapple appears.
I was watering my plants this morning when I spotted my latest baby. Unfortunately I won’t be around to see it grow. I leave today for Italy. I stop for a day and night in cool Helsinki, then I will visit a friend in southern Germany for a few days.
I will be back in Bagni di Lucca and Casa Debbio in just under a week. I can’t wait to see how my garden is surviving the winter.
Here is my new pineapple. They grow quite slowly, so it will still be around when I return in late June.
That is a sweet little baby.

The pineapple will be just fine. Have a great trip and keep the posts coming. We now want to see the garden at Casa Debbio and how it has survived the winter and then the spring bulbs later. X

I can understand the feeling! I am leaving to go back to Italy in a week and a half, and am leaving behind my favorite plant. I don’t think he is going to make it while I’m gone.
