JERRA you don’t have to worry about your HOA. Florida state has passed a law that governs over your HOA POA’s COA. You can grow any kind of food on any part of your property, the front yard the backyard, the side yard they cannot stop you from growing your own food. I suggest making a very nice garden to keep that curb appeal. We grow tomatoes, peppers, onions, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, hibiscus, longevity, Okonokos, spinach, and a whole lot more we put it in between our birds of paradise palm trees in our green island. If you didn’t know any better, he would have no clue that we have all these vegetables growing in our garden right up front and the back it’s another story it’s a huge food forest lol
Jerra, I must know if I'll be able to watch you transform more of your yard into a food producing jungle, (because you live in the tropics it's not a forest). Now that your rules have changed? I live in Oregon 8b and am still in my first year gardening. I feel I'm rather advanced with information for a first year though, I like learning all about it... methods, styles, experiments, indoor/outdoor, soil/soilless... all of it. Which in turn becomes all about dirt lol soil has become so meaningful to me now. I have been successful clearing out a huge backyard with gardens all around inmind, but I'm mostly using containers until I can get my soil richened and on a maintenance level. It's weird though, I don't really have sandy, clay or silt soil.... it's more like overly compacted dirt. I'm working on figuring it out though. I'd like to do a soil test, but an extensive one, I already have an at home kind. It says I need nitrogen. I plan on doing a layer of compost about 6 or 8 inches and then cover that with 8 inches of chipdrop. What do you think I should do? Till it once with mixture of manures first then the others? Or something totally different? Sorry if I have written a novel, I'm almost done lol I tried growing a pineapple plant about 3 times, each getting closer to success. I've got my 4th rooting now and I hope to keep it in my greenhouse for winter. What do you think?
The way I deal with the HOA is to keep my driveway container garden neat and organized at all times with healthy plants growing. And I go to each house on my street to offer leftover seedlings for them to grow. Everyone seems happy about it and some have started gardening themselves.
Great & very Informative video! Thanks Jera! I received a pineapple from a friend in Titusville about 17 years ago. We ejoyed its yummyness. I saved the crown, rooted in water, put in small pot of dirt, transplanted into a larger pot in that 1st year. Then we moved across town. It was big enough so I planted it in the ground, just a few inches from where rain water ran off from my roof. It did great for about 2 years. It doubled in size but no fruit, yet... We went on vacation & hired a teen to take care of our yard. He thot it was a big weed & whacked it almost to its base. 😢 So... I dug it up & moved it about 3 feet from where it was, but still under roof runoff & prayed it would survive. Fast forward to 2018 my granddaughter was helping her dad mowing my yard & noticed there was a baby pineapple groing on it. It got pretty big & we all enjoyed it at Christmas. It has since produced 3 pineapples, one of which is there now.😊 I have also planted 3 other (store bought fruit) tops in same way nearby, but not not as long ago as my original one. They have all fruited in the past 5-6 years providing me with 5 so far. There currently are 2 in various stages. I learned about a great product that I now wrap around each fruit as soon as I see it growing to keep the furry & fowly critters from getting to it. [I've only lost 1 to them!] I use TULLE! None of the critters like the feeling of it on their claws/paws/beaks. Happy Pineapple harvesting all!🍍 I'm in NE Florida.
I have always wanted to grow pineapples but have never watched a video on it before. You make it look so easy. When I was growing up there was a commercial pineapple plantation in Lake Placid. They used to make pineapple smoothies that were so good. It had chipped ice in it along with pulp and juice. They also made every kind of pineapple jelly you can imagine. Thank you.
Pineapples are one of the easiest fruit crops you can grow. Mine are very neglected. I don't water or anything once they are established and they produce easily.
Excellent video, I'm a new subscriber and I cannot get enough of your tips. Wow, you are very knowledgeable and break it down for folks like me, thank you for all of your hard work. For pineapples, I twist the tops, peal the leaves and root it in water, just because I feel it grows a bigger root system, but that's just me. Once the top has a decent root system, I then slice it into 4 equal sections, this gives you 4 plant slips, then pot them up into 1 gallon pots. I just built a large planter system in my girlfriend's back yard (she also lives in a HOA neighborhood) and I'm basically making an artistic "ninja style" food forest system. Anyways I was able to ring both of her citrus trees with pineapples that I grew using this method. I'm a lot like you, I have a hard time discarding seeds and cuttings, lol. Thanks again for sharing, you have a beautiful gift of a kind heart and 2 green thumbs, best to you and yours in the new year, peace. 😊 Ocala/Dunnellon (who knows what zone I'm in now, lol) area North Central Fl.
Thanks a lot Jerra! I live in San Francisco, Ca. and get a decent amount of water, but for some reason, I have had problems getting my pineapple plants to grow. However, I didn't let them root first, but I have 1 growing now thanks to this video. You rock, girl, and I just subscribed, so I look forward to seeing more videos. See you next time.......😂🤣🌹🥀🌷🌾🌱🌿🪴🌴🌲
Great video, as always! When propagating from tops, you can skip the water step and just put it into soil. Also, the only pests I've ever had in mine are the occasional caterpillar nibbling in the leaves. I'm in north Florida, so the plan this year is to put them in a greenhouse over the winter.
I'm from central florida. I I have almost 40 pineapple plants. I just stick them to the ground 😂. Leave it and forget it. The easiest plant to grow. People think I have massive yard. Nope I literally just put them on the sides lol
I am on the west coast, so most plants will survive a light freeze, including peppers, pineapple plants, avacado trees, cactus pads, Peruvian cactus, and i belive dragon fruit. My frowing area is 9A or 9B. I've never grown a pineapple fruit bit. i grew a pineapple plant, and then it died because either i over water it or underwater. I was able to keep the plant alive all winter but maybe i got luck because it died the next summer. I am just a a hobbies gardener do i try an learn information to become a better gardener.
i was growing one in the ground and for 1 year it just didn't grow further than the first 5 leaves that appeared......i finally gave up and left the plant on its own and it just died

I think I wrote this in the wrong spot, sorry to you both.
Good to know

Great videos Jerra, you cover alot of information. Best gardeniing vids I've seen on utube.
Wow, thank you! Comments like these keep me going because it is a lot of work. Happy it's helping others.
Excellent video, I have 2 pineapple plants growing in my garden here in New Port Richey FL, zone 9b, love your videos 💕🍍🍍🍍🍍
Thanks!
Just found your channel. Great video.
You can also remove the top by grabbing the leaves and twisting it off the pineapple. Then start taking off the bottom leaves from there.
Very true thanks for the tip
Great & very Informative video!
Thanks Jera!

Hi! What size container would you recommend to grow a full size plant in? Is a 3 gallon too small?
Pineapple plants have very shallow root systems. I recommend 3 gallons at minimum.
@@JerrasGarden thanks!
Excellent video with documentary 👍
I just received the White Jade pineapple plant from you and promptly put it in a pot. It arrived in perfect condition. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Thanks for the tips! I have heard about cutting pineapples to make more slips but have never tried it myself. I will certainly try next time.

I have four store bought ten Hilo pineapple plants I started last year. Three Antigua Black pineapple plants I got the other day. 😊
Nice! Antigua Black is a very rare variety.

That is my exact situation lol! I cant bring myself to just throw away the tops.
Excellent informative video. I would recommend some graphic content to support the video. God bless.
I would use the core for my smoothie
Do they need pollinators to fruit ??????
No, each plant is self fertile
Hi Jerri
Pink pineapples
I am in Ocala. Where are you?
Why is my pineapple so tiny.. how do you get the fruit to be bigger
❤❤❤
I am on the west coast, so most plants will survive a light freeze, including peppers, pineapple plants, avacado trees, cactus pads, Peruvian cactus, and i belive dragon fruit. My frowing area is 9A or 9B. I've never grown a pineapple fruit bit. i grew a pineapple plant, and then it died because either i over water it or underwater. I was able to keep the plant alive all winter but maybe i got luck because it died the next summer. I am just a a hobbies gardener do i try an learn information to become a better gardener.
Just got to keep trying. Its a skill that I'm constantly learning and getting better at. Cant tell you how many plants I have killed lol
Why can't White Jade be sent to Arizona?
I can ship to Arizona now. I was waiting on some additional state approvals so I could ship to Arizona along with some other states.
😅
what to do when pineapple plants do not produce fruit.
i was growing one in the ground and for 1 year it just didn't grow further than the first 5 leaves that appeared......i finally gave up and left the plant on its own and it just died
לא עושה לייק אין כתוביות בעברית.
It will take 3-4 yrs to get a fruit!
You just carrying a thornless pineapple what do you mean
