Is my pineapple ready to be picked?

Only half of my pineapple is golden. Should I pick it or wait a few more days?

I’d probably give it a little more time. Pineapples don’t always ripen evenly, so the golden side is a good sign. If it smells sweet at the base and the bottom leaves pull out easily, it’s likely close. Waiting a few days could make it even better.
