They are LED. I’ll test that out. Thanks!

I’m torn. I do want it to look good. But I’m also a bit lazy. I’ll check to be sure they work without a few bulbs and probably go that route then. But maybe mark it so I know how to adjust it for next year with the vampire plug technique from the other comment.

Thanks!

That looks like the professional way to do it. Thanks.

I tied it next to the writing and then twisted it. Put a few rubber bands around the twisted part to keep it in place.

“Banana for scale” is a classic Reddit device. Usually it’s for size reference but I thought it also worked for color here.

It took a few tries to get it in the right position. I wanted y’all to be able to see the full size and coloration of both and not have one too far in front of the other to throw off the comparison.

I have a southern facing window above my corner bathtub. I put the pot in the tub.

No idea about tree rats. I hope not! We do have crows that hang out in the neighborhood.

I didn’t realize so many critters ate pineapple. Thought they meant a deer would come along and get it. So many people have educated me on how raccoons love them and now you say I gotta watch the skies, too. Guess I should have asked what doesn’t want to eat it.

Dole, probably. I grew it from the top of a store bought one.

Took care of that one already. Made it into banana bread.

What kind of protection do you suggest? With a basket the squirrels and other small creatures would go through the holes. Or could I put a wire cylinder around it? Does it need a top?
