Have you ever grown your own peanuts?

I know about growing them but have never planted any myself.

No I haven't

No.

It is one of those plants, a lot of people just never think about.
I must say......you have me thinking?

Interesting!

No but I'd like to give it a shot, maybe my dad knows how?

I'd never thought about growing peanuts. Would Melbourne be too cold I wonder.

by Gayle Beveridge

I have feeling that Melb would be too cold and also too dry. Peanuts are a wet season crop up here - they like the constant rain for 3 months. Although they might grow in a hot house or if you have a good irrigation - Nothing to lose from trying!

no i have never done so

No, though what a thought! I love peanuts!! I live in the wrong part of the world sadly....

by VerityG

Given that not a lot grows during the wet season up here I thought that I'd give peanuts a go. They are great for the soil as they put nitrogen in (like all legumes). I did cheat and get a seedling from a nursery - although apparently you can just plant a nut and it will grow! I've got another month before I pull the plants up and see if I have any nuts. Really looking forward to it!!
