I’m going to have to try to grow some peanuts and make my own.

I ordered seed for peanuts this year. My soil will grow peanuts very well.

I grew my peanuts in composted horse manure last year. From 5 plants, I harvested a little less than 2 pecks of peanuts. The things grow like weeds, and I only had to protect the plants from deer and the chickens.

Well, we have really bad clay soil. However, we have been working on it. My raised beds have a lot of compost, peat, and some vermiculite added, so they might do well in the raised bed.

As with all our gardening, it will be an experiment to see what works best. So far, we have had a lot of success with almost all the stuff we have tried. Except watermelons. Having a real problem with those - different problem each year. BER got them the first year.

Winter wheat has been a big success, and that’s kinda neat, since we really can’t grow most of the stuff we like in the winter anyway.
