Peanuts
There are two different kinds of peanut plants, one that grows in an upright bush and one that grows as a runner. Most home gardeners plant the bush type as it is much easier to harvest. Virginia varieties usually produce large peanuts with 2 kernels in each shell, whereas Spanish peanuts are smaller but usually have 3 nuts in each shell. If your growing season is not quite long enough, you could try Valencia peanuts. They mature in around 100 days.

immortelle
Immortelle is a legendary flower in the Mediterranean region. Its Greek name is Helichrysum, which is “Helios” for “sun” and “Chrysos” for “gold”, because its flowers look like small gold suns that never fade. It is with this essential oil that L’OCCITANE has developed its anti-aging skincare, which has been patented for its effectiveness.

beans
Beans: The World's Healthiest Storable Survival Food!
Despite the existence of over 15,000 bean varieties in the world today, only a handful of them ever make it to your local grocery store.
The dried beans you buy at the grocery store sit around in storage silos for at least four years before they make it to the store shelves.
And chances are, those "Big-Ag" beans are the ones you’ve tasted and hated. That’s because the vast majority of beans that really taste great aren’t suited for the brute-force, industrialized farm-to-market techniques large commercial farmers use today.
What you’re left with, commercially, are a handful of "Pesticide-Herbicide Ready" varieties that can handle the harsh treatment that passes for farming today. They may make it to market cheaply enough... but they taste like rat poison!
