After you've finished cutting up your pineapple, don't be so quick to throw everything away. If you want to give a present to your father for Father's Day but you don't have money to blow, cut the leaves off the top of the pineapple and plant them in soil. A beautiful new plant will grow that'll be sure to make your father happy.
