Pinto Peanut

I have a large flock of guinea fowl, and I'm hoping that this year they will be able to forage on some yummy treats. The plants arrived in excellent condition - the weather is variable in this cool, temperate zone, so I'm establishing a few beds for them in areas they like to forage, and rooting cuttings to establish more plants faster
