My dad finally harvested his homegrown pineapple today, and it felt like such a small but meaningful victory.
He started growing it more than two years ago from nothing but a pineapple crown, tucked into a simple flower pot. Day after day, he watered it faithfully, fed it with kitchen scraps like fruit peels, and gave it plenty of sunlight and quiet attention. Just simple, old-school care and patience.
Today, all that love paid off.
The pineapple grew into a huge, beautiful fruit — almost 2kg! We were all so excited holding it in our hands, amazed that something this big came from a humble pot on our little home garden. We honestly can’t wait to cut it open and taste it. Somehow, homegrown fruit always tastes sweeter.
After harvesting the pineapple, Dad also picked some lady’s fingers (okra). His plants produce two or three every week, and with a few pots growing steadily, there’s always something fresh for the kitchen. Nothing fancy, just honest, fresh vegetables grown right outside our door.
Moments like this remind me that you don’t need a big garden or a farm to grow your own food. Even a flower pot is enough.
With daily watering, some sunlight, and kitchen scraps turned into compost, nature will quietly reward you — sometimes with the sweetest surprises.
