Not actually roots @chicky 😊...the fertilised flowers grow downwards and push themselves into the ground and that’s where the seed pods full of peanuts grow ... we grew them at school in botany lessons. 😊

Hmmm! I knew they were below ground - other name is ground nuts - but not that they were just upside down and wrong way round. We had broad beans for school biology - cotyledons and all that.
I don't think I nevy you any part of that meal @Yviestevie but glad you enjoyed it. Have a rest too tomorrow.

We didn’t grow anything in biology 🤔 ..... child of the seventies 🙄. However, will never look at peanuts in the same way 🥜 . Every day’s a school day 😀😀😀
I'm feeling smug, baked a Dorset Apple cake this afternoon, using our own apples (not cookers though, according to Mary Berry on GW tonight). OH loves cake and I hardly ever bake (being on a permanent diet most of the time) so half of it has gone already!
Found two jars of really out of date honey in the back of the cupboard and don't know what to do with it - would birds eat it or should I put it in our compost bin?
Just use it as honey on bread, toast, pancakes, roast ham etc. If it's gone a bit crystalline just zap it in the microwave, minus lid, for 30 to 60 seconds until it goes fluid again. It'll be fine.

I agree. Honey doesn’t ‘go off’ ... eat it 👍 We don’t have a microwave so I’d put the jar in a bowl of hot water from the kettle and leave it a while. It’ll turn back into runny honey.

Hi @Pat E aches and pains keeping me awake just waiting for painkillers to take effect. Glad you had some rain. Judging by how Im feeling at the moment it might be a lazy day for me too.
