Ok, so the original purpose of this blog - to grow a pineapple in 2 years and blog about my adventures while documenting the growth of the pineapple - went to shit. It's mostly laziness. I have to take the pictures of the pineapples, upload them to my computer, do a write-up, and then upload it to the blog. This may not sound like a whole lot of effort, but it's enough to deter me.
Anyway, since I accepted a job in Chicago and will be moving back in September (and subsequently changed the countdown), people have surprisingly asked frequently "what about your pineapple?" Well, there is good news and bad news, I'm afraid. The good news is that Pineapple #2 is doing very well. You'll recall that I bought potting soil and planted Pineapple #2 in a bigger pot from the beginning. This, I predicted, would lead to better growth. It seems this prediction is coming true. As you can see from the photos, Pineapple #2 is looking healthy and strong. The bad news is that Pineapple #1, while alive, does not look as vibrant as Pineapple #2. Pineapple #1, planted nearly a month before it's companion, looks a little wilted and run down. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it does not look like it's on the road to bearing fruit any time soon.
Well, without further adoo, here are the updated pictures:

Now, as you can see, both pineapples are doing well. I say they're doing well, but obviously I have no sense of whether that's true or not. For all I know, they should be bigger, have more leaves, growing buds, or whatever else happens with pineapples. However, I don't think they're dead, which is always a positive. For purposes of comparing, you can see the originals below:
