My grandfather and my dad taught me a lot about #nature; the names of the animals, birds, trees and #plants. What was safe to eat, what was not. I remember him telling me about digging for #groundnuts. How you need to dig down and follow the thin, fragile root until you get to the 'nut' below. It's something he loved doing when he was little.

Here's some info about groundnuts. It has a nice little video of a man digging up a small one too.
