When son Jonathan was here in Atenas about a year ago he took the time to hand pollenate our valilla orchid vines. Last week I noticed a few of the beans, now over ten months old, had started to brown and split so I picked them and blanched them in boiling water for a minute. Now after a week in the midday sun each day they are nice and mahogany brown. The green ones on the left were just picked today. They were so high up the vine that I had to have gardener Juan get them using a ladder. They have just been blanched and are drying on a paper towel. The 100 colones coin is about the size of a quarter.Well done Jon, thanks.
