Pineapples in Paradise

One of the great things about living in Costa Rica is the fruit you can grow. Sure Southern California was great, we had orange, lime and lemon trees in the back yard and we grew grapes every summer. But I still had to pay $5.00 or more for pineapples. Here pineapples grow so easy, we have thrown the tops of pineapples out in the yard only to have them root themselves. Pineapples do not need any water through our six months of dry season. I like my pineapple smoothie every morning - sometimes I throw in fresh coconut milk, a mango, papaya and a banana from our yard.
