Bell peppers, 12 uses for mint leaves, dilly beans

The vegetable life does not content itself with casting from the flower or the tree a single seed, but it fills the air and earth with a prodigality of seeds, that, if thousands perish, thousands may plant themselves, that hundreds may come up, that tens may live to maturity, that, at least one may replace the parent.

–Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–82)
