The mrs is a chef and brings them home all the time. We've got a fair few and because they've been planted at different times we're getting fruit regularly now. She bakes a mean pineapple upside down cake.

Mate, my mum lives in a penthouse so 2 balconys, 4 if you include the outcrop thingys. But oddball potted colour. Its a left feild gift but a talking point and well received. Im proud of how oddball i went with that. And everybody asks. She has tomato vines, weeds like spinich and rocket and stuff. Citrus like a lemon tree and a lime tree. So the pineapple was different. Im yet to find another to turn it into a yearly harvest, but pashionfriut trees are available. Different again, but atleast deserts only.
