A prickly proposition

A couple of years ago I decided to plant a pineapple top in the vege garden, just to see what would happen and how long it would actually take to happen.

Well I'm very pleased to say that it was worth the wait, and the little corner of the vege patch which this plant takes up, because.... tadaaa.... I have a pineapple!!!


Notice the nibbled leaves on the pineapple tops (I say tops, because for some reason it has two)?  Well these are the culprits:


My little flock of sheep have discovered the delights of the vege patch and obviously pineapple tops are quite appetising.  Who knew?!  They have also eaten all of the tomato plants and I didn't get even a single head of broccoli this year.  I'm not sure how, but we're going to have to sheep proof the sheep fencing I think.

Hmmm, anyone for a nice roast leg of lamb???
