I read on Pinterest that you can plant green onions in water and they will grow back, and you can plant the top of a pineapple in dirt and it will grow another pineapple. I was skeptical of both these claims but decided to try none-the-less. I am happy to say, today, almost 6 weeks later, one of them succeeded!
As a reminder - this is what my green onions looked like the day I "planted" them:
This is what they looked like a week later, and what they look like today!
Pretty good right?! They actually grew, A LOT!
Now for the pineapple...

Maybe I cut too much off, maybe I didn't water it enough, maybe it didn't get enough sun, maybe you just can't grow a pineapple like this. Your guess is as good as mine but here is that same pineapple today:
Nothing grew. No roots. No yummy pineapple for us.
1 out of 2 science experiments isn't terrible! The green onions worked great and I have not had to buy any for 6 weeks. The pineapple on the other hand, I will continue to buy from the grocery store each time we have a craving. Has anyone else had any lucky growing a pineapple in a pot? - says the village idiot
