#Chocolate #seeds #germinating with #giberellicacid on dishcloth within 24hrs!! #theobroma #cacao #tropicalfruit #tropical
Wow that's ace 🙌🏻
Very cool 🤗🤗
Wow 😳 that's quick
They're usually difficult and go mouldy....think I'm getting my proceed better now!! 😎
You could become a chocolatier at this rate!
@susieg you've hit the nail on the head!! I'm already starting to learn the art of chocolate making and made great contacts for getting organic, sustainable chocolate beans. Watch this space!! 👍👍
@drnicko We also cultivate these #cacao here in Jamaica. Sadly most of the farms are currently being impacted by the #frostypoddisease. Have u heard of it?
Just been reading all about the diseases for coffee and chocolate. I grow various coffee varieties already in UK and have some small theobroma trees I've grown from seed. Might have to ask you if you can get me some fresh green blue mountain coffee seeds?? 😃😃 @Jason
How fabulous would that be!!!!!
@susieg lots of hard work now learning and researching. Hope to be able to produce some coffee & chocolate on my plants in next few years as well
It wud a challenge to get those coffee beans @drnicko. I am living miles away from the plantation in another parish actually.
