I found pineapples to be much more in need of sun than water. Yes, they do need water, but it’s not going to develop or ripen a fruit without lots of sun. That said, a fruit can literally go a year or more developing without harm to it. Never particularly fertilized it, though I’m trying that now to see if it makes a difference. In theory the same plant can fruit multiple times, but I find that after a few years they start looking really scraggly so I’ve decided that when they do, I’ll plant them outside in the spring and hope I get a fruit before the first frost in the fall. Pineapple plants are deer resistant!

I’m frankly mystified by anyone who thinks Mastodon is “too technical.”
Please explain. Because the steps as far as I know are:
- Want a mastodon account
- Search for “join mastodon”
- Pick a server
- Create an account
- Enjoy mastodon

Because people who would love to get off of it are connected there to people who think it is just fine. And those people are also afraid of change.
