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.
Not enough love for the rich flavor of vanilla out there. Very sweet to grow your own.
Love a good vanilla ice cream
Me too, but only with a shit ton of chocolate syrup on it. I should just buy chocolate ice cream but I'm ashamed to say I'm addicted to the shitty flavor of Hershey's syrup.
I don't otherwise like Hershey chocolate, but their chocolate syrup on good vanilla ice cream slaps.
