Hi Gaz



You can grow your own peanut plant by planting a raw peanut (these can be found in supermarkets - do not buy the roasted ones, they will not grow). Plant the entire peanut in the hull or just the seed (the peanut with the brown skin still on it) 1 to 2 inches deep in well-drained soil. Keep it moist and warm until it germinates (it should take about a week). It takes about 3 months for peanuts to form. After digging up the mature plant, "cure" the plant (let it dry out -hang it up in a garage) for about a week. Then roast and eat the hulled nuts.

Strictly speaking - Peanuts aren't really nuts - they are in the same family as beans, peas, and alfalfa (legumes). The foliage and blooms have a striking resemblance to these plants.

Might give peanuts a try. Hopefully they will grow as well as the peas have done this year
