Want to Spice Things Up a Bit?
Posted in Homestead Garden and Farm
How about growing your own Vanilla beans! Logee's has a new variety which sounds very tempting to try: Vanilla planifolia variegata .
The variegated "Calamondin Orange" would also be fun to grow if you have a greenhouse, sunroom, or live in a warm climate. Unfortunately for me, they can't ship citrus plants to Texas. I really don't understand that, because you can buy citrus trees at the nurseries here. Some oddball regulation, I suppose.
Oh well, I'll just request the Vanilla plant for my all too quickly approaching birthday, and be happy to get a new "pet"
!
Blessings,
Catherine

my mom spent 5 weeks in tahiti, and brought home beans straight from a plantation. It was worked by some people she met at church while she was there. she would love to have fresh beans again! maybe I will get her a plant (and keep it at my house with my other trees! LOL!)

Glad you enjoyed these, I LOVE trying new plants :) !
Grandma Rosie,
I've been pondering the same thing. I've considered asking a friend who lives out of state to order me one and then ship it to me.... ;) .
Hugs,
Catherine
