We have a little in our barrels from the rains this week, but they are far from full.

You are very industrious with your soil improvement project.

Can you grow cocoa beans? I read that there as been a pretty wide spread crop failure, and the price of chocolate is predicted to rise.

No cocoa here, unfortunately. Even my experiments with coffee haven't been productive.

I'm going to work on the soil here until I die. It will be my legacy. One square yard at a time.

Cocoa trees are pretty picky about where they grow. They like a lot of humidity, no cold, and rich, acidic soil. I tried one a couple years ago (along with cinnamon and jakfruit), but they all failed in my greenhouse. I just couldn't keep the conditions right.
