The cacao goddess is after us!
We found that we had no choice except to plant 1,000 new cacao trees. Even though we are trying to complete building a house and take care of the million other details involved in running a finca in Costa Rica, it just had to happen...
The seeds germinate easily, they have a lot of "potencia," as it is called here. All we had to do was buy the bags where the seeds will spend the first three months of their lives, build a shade structure, dig up a lot of beautiful dirt and mix it with the "gallinaza," which is chicken poop mixed in with rice husks, arrange for somebody to fill the bags and keep them watered and that's it! Simple...
I'm trying to upload a video of the shade structure being built but it seems to be a strain on the internet connection. Maybe later...
