The climate here in Las Palmas is good the entire year round and this climate makes this the perfect place for a big number of plants. The new proyect I&#8217;m considering is a peanut plant.

The thing I noticed was that raw peanuts are very similar to the peanuts we use for consumption, only for a small difference in the smell. After pealing the peanut I placed them (including the thin brown skin) in some dirt and I added some water. It only took three days for the peanut to sprout a root.<\/p>\n<p>The second step was simple, just wait patiently for the plant to grow. This is the step I&#8217;m at now. Eventually I expect the plant to bear some new peanuts. When I get them I&#8217;ll attempt to roast them and see if I get a tasty result. This is in fact what I&#8217;ll try with all the raw peanuts that are left over.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found a new project.
