I was at the Oriental supermarket with my wife a couple of years ago and snagged a couple of raw peanuts intending to try to grow them. This spring I put them in a hanging basket and they are still growing like crazy. Can't wait to try them roasted. Even if I only get a few, it was still fun. Maybe I'll save a couple and do it again next spring. 🥜🥜🥜
A friend of mine grows 800 acres of peanuts last week he was digging some told me to come get some i back my truck up to the end of the row my grandson and the tractor driver loaded for about three minutes when I got home I started picking peanuts off that was Tuesday Saturday evening I finally got through and I had 72 quarts
Tried growing peanuts a few years ago, but shortly after planting them, the squirrels dug them all up and left none to grow! I live in the San Francisco Peninsula, zone 9b.
I only had two peanut seeds from last year. Out of the two plants I got a good mess of peanuts and have at least 20+ for next year. I grew them in a tote, it worked well.
I have exactly ONE peanut plant a squirrel planted in a terra cotta pot! Guess might be time to harvest! 😊 If this is good, I might plant more come spring!

They only have a 1 year life span. They have to be harvested correctly, dried correctly and held in specific conditions to be ready for seed sellers to buy. The lifespan of the seed is only 1 year. The home owner could do the same if they had the equipment to preserve them correctly.
Peanut tops are rabbit's favorite food.
That looks like a fun crop to grow!
Peanuts also like Potassium, Calcium and no nitrogen.
The vines also make some very rich compost!

We tried growing these in Nebraska using your seed. Planted and replanted them, Ended up with two plants and about 8 peanuts.
They need light soil and warm weather. In South Alabama we planted ours in may.
Definitely one crop I want to try here in south Louisiana.
This is first year I’ve ever grown peanuts. Planted double 30’ row in ground and double 12’ row in raised bed. Digging next week here in Upstate SC🤞

Our goats went crazy for peanut hay!
Thanks for always sharing your knowledge Hoss.
My pleasure!!

If seeds can't be saved and replanted than how can the seed sellers sell seeds? Someone has to be able to hold seeds over the winter.
