Requesting Peanut Info
depends on where you are located. I'm in south AL, I buy raw peanuts and
shell them and plant the nuts. Or if you plant early enough, you can plant the whole thing, shell and all. The shell will rot away. Then in october here, we use a middle buster through the rows and pick 'em. Jack Melano wrote in message ...

You can get seed peanuts for commercial/large operations, but any ol' raw peanut will produce a plant. They are *fascinating*. I always thought peanuts grew on the roots, but nooo. The plants (quite attractive small bushes) have pretty yellow flowers which send out a sort of narrow tongue that dives down to the dirt. Peanuts form undergound from this shoot. This site has some interesting information: http://peanutvan.com.au/growing.htm Googling on "growing peanuts" turned up this and many other references. |
