Back in the garden.......

.....we have grasshoppers!  Little ones, big ones, massive ones, green ones, brown ones, you get the picture.  And they are all hungry ones - but I've got 'em beat now!

Net food covers - to keep the bugs off at al fresco meals for people, not grasshoppers.

This little pineapple is in my neighbour's garden.  Although we live in a pineapple growing area I haven't ever noticed  them starting off like this.  It's probably a bit hard to see them as you're driving past the farms at 80kph!

It's as cute as a button isn't it?  The fruit is about 2" high without the crown.
A few miles down the road and at the other end of the scale is this Big Pineapple which is 52' high.

It has been a local tourist attraction since 1971.  If you want to know more you can read about it here and here.
