Pineapples (and other nursery seeds)

Looking for a clarification on some wording.

I have a task that says "Collect pineapples from the greenhouse."
As far as I can tell I am able to "Purchase pineapple seeds from the greenhouse"
Are these meant to be the same thing? - I don't think so.

Or, Is this a multi step process? - I must purchase seeds first, then grow them somewhere.
In which case, the quest should read "Collect pineapples" or "make pineapples available."

BTW, where do I plant the seeds once I have them? - None of my plots seem to take them.

    'Make available' would mean you have to hand them over


    'Collect pineapples' means harvest that many and keep them to do with so as you wish

    Its the same terminology GGS have used throughout Big Farm for Tasks, Quests. Projects and Missions

    But I have already purchased some seeds from the greenhouse (with shells) and it has not been noted on my quest tally. So clearly, purchasing seeds in the greenhouse is not the same is collecting pineapples from the greenhouse.

    I understand that "collect" has always meant to grow/harvest. But, we aren't doing that in the greenhouse, thus the "collect pineapples from the greenhouse" should be simply "Collect pineapples" as we don't collect then from the greenhouse, we purchase seeds from the greenhouse.

    You have to purchase pineapple seeds from the shell trader then grow them in the greenhouse to complete the task.

    I did't say it meant purchase seeds. It means what it says Collect Pineapples not purchase seeds.

    Grow the seeds you purchased from the Trader at the top of the game screen in the new Greenhouse at the bottom of your screen

    Just buy them from Benny. He has them all in his truck.

    You have to scroll through the Shell trader pages to find the special seeds and the palm trees etc

    Does anyone know where to find the pineapples after they have been harvested please?

    The special seeds are on the second page of the truck.

    Is there any other way of seeing how many shells we have? I see them in the trader truck but they shoud be shown on the island farm too.

    On the island farm, just look in your Farm mgt menu, upper corner left shows you how many shells you have.

    Aha!
    Somehow this morning in my "I just woke up and I 'm trying to rush off to work stupor" I managed to seemingly purchase my seeds from the greenhouse (series of erroneous clicks, I am sure) and did not realize that the seeds had actually come from the trader and that I then had to go back to the greenhouse to plant them. TY

    ETA: When you click on the "show me" button within the quest, it sends you to the greenhouse (moves you down on the screen) but the trader pops up. Therefore, I thought I had purchased my first seeds from the greenhouse not the trader.

    Actually, you get two free pineapple seeds from the task of donating items. That's probably how you got your first seeds.
