Wife is helping me lose weight. She suggested I should switch to unsalted groundnuts instead of chips and fruit instead of sweets. I've eaten a full kilo of unsalted groundnuts and half dozen bananas today. I don't know what I'll tell her when she gets home.

Crassly reductive to see it all in terms of berries. There were groundnuts and edible fungi as well.

The cost, and embarrassment of the scheme supposedly contribute to the reduction of the Labour Majority in 1950. Needless to say, the treasury finally cancelled the whole thing in Feburary 1951, just in time for Labour to be ousted from Office.

Roasted peanuts that I planted in Arbaro de Espero. Did you know that peanuts are also called groundnuts and sprout below the ground?
They vaguely resemble sweet potatoes, in the way they sprawl.

The disastrous groundnuts scheme is still painful to contemplate.
There was a brief and unsuccessful effort to make Africa the new India.

Get raw groundnuts and toast as if for groundnut stew, salt them, rub off the skins as you eat warm.
Cheaper and better than any prepacked groundnuts, more nutritious than pop corn.

There's a path through history where (much like the 45-51 government), this ministry gets defined by it's significant long terms shifts (nationalisation & welfare/ climate & energy) as opposed to the *myriad* of shitshows (Empire, India, Palestine, *groundnuts*, balance of payments)
In the face of frenzied right-wing attacks, this government has successfully executed one of the most ambitious climate change projects in the world. Time to give credit where it's due iandunt.substack.com/p/guest-post...

Moving right along in some really nice weather, bluebells that we planted last year survived, planting lots of pre-sprouted American Groundnuts, bench grafting some plums, and seeding the first beds of carrots and beets at the veggie farm we manage #spring #gardening #foodforest #plants #farming

The high elves grow short, shade-tolerant cultivars of wheat and oats ("elven wheat" and "elven oats") in alleys between rows of walnut, chestnut, birch, and poplar (wood) trees; they rotate those with cowpeas and groundnuts
They also grow tea and herbs under the canopies of oak, cherry, and citrus

Also if you put them somewhere drier and more Mediterranean, climate-wise, they'd probably find very good use for olive trees in an agroforestry set up, and likely replace oil from groundnuts with olive oil
Alternatively, you can insert safflower grown for oil into the crop rotation

As the nanking cherries start to flower, we’re waking up some American Groundnuts on the heat table, seeding a small air prune flat of redbuds, and popping in some trays of herbaceous perennials like rose mallow. #nativeplants #gardening #seeding #spring

One of my cousins who's mixed (Nigerian-French) said he wants to "discover his Nigerian roots a bit more", so I came up with some exercises for him, lol. He had to drink garri with milk and groundnuts, eat proper hot goat meat pepper soup, and pound yam with a mortar and pestle. 😅🤣

This land used to thrive, producing bountiful harvests of groundnuts, chilies, and other Indigenous vegetables. Now Sharma and his brother avoid going to the fields "because it brings back painful memories of our parents' death," he told The Xylom. (/2)
