Planting Pineapple

Really this is an experiment. I'm not sure we did it right but here is the pineapple before we did anything too it.
They say you just have to cut the top off so here it is cut off.
So here they are planted in our little patch of dirt. I should have taken a picture in the last few days to add to this post because I think they are just about dead. I'm not sure if we did it right or if they are too hot. It's been miserable here lately!!! Enjoy your cold weather if you have it, I'm so jealous!
