Easy plants to grow

One of our kids came home from school last week talking about how they planted a sweet potato in some water and it made "pretty" leaves. It got us to thinking about when we did that as a child and started wondering if there were any other easy plants. Here is a list with instructions and/or links on how to start some "pretty" plants.

Carob: This plant puts out oval leaves and the seed inside the pod taste like chocolate.

Peanuts: Peanuts grow up and then they turn and go back down into the soil. Very cool to watch!

Anise: This plant can be used in salads or cooked with meals. It taste like licorice.

Cherimoya: This plant produces a heart shaped fruit and has a flavor combination of strawberry, pineapple, banana, and yogurt.

Genip: This fruit has a favor cross between a grape and a mango. It is said to quench your thirst on hot days.
