So you don't really use "fresh" vanilla. It's actually quite nasty in terms of it's sap, which results in a very painful rash.
It takes about 9 months from pollination to maturity. These pods I polimated in January or maybe even December last year. After about 9 months in the vine, they need to cure. So that means blanching the beans, then a several month slow dehydration to their final state. They do smell faintly of vanilla and I do sell vanilla, but these won't be ready for months. Once curred they're basically shelf stable for years and years.
Feel free to. The vines take ~5 years to get to full production and most of my vines are ~3-4 years old. The beans here are from my one patch of vines that is 4+ years old. I expect to have a fairly significant harvest next season (maybe a few hundred), and then a quite substantial (as in, several thousand beans) moving forwards from there. I've got around 150 vines coming online that should be entering their more productive phase next year.
There are some gardening and farming subs I post updates to and I was planning on posting a harvest update today/ tomorrow.
[note: I can't send you my "finished" vanilla, because export restrictions on alcohol, although I could probably get away with it. But I can send you beans and instructions]
