    They grow very well in Melbourne over summer. Can’t overwinter them, but who cares. My boys got given seed peanuts in primary school to plant etc so they’re easy enough for primary school kids to grow. Another nice thing is that they are nitrogen fixers - that is, if planted in the garden they actually improve the soil rather than deplete it. They aren’t nuts - just a really really weird bean/legume as @catfish points out.
