This year's vanilla harvest starting, and with the hot weather, moving fast. This year I'll harvest around 100 pods which I'll process into cured vanilla over the next few months.
It's also the time of year for "tipping", where you go through and break off the growing tips to hopefully induce flowering, which will start as early as October November. I'm going to be rooting and possibly even selling some vine material from the tipping events.
I prefer that chocolate coating stuff that hardens when it gets cold. It’s fun!
Yeah that stuff is good too!
