I’ll have to keep track of this section. I ordered peanuts for the garden this year. Don’t know how well they’ll do, but thought it would be fun to try.

About 20 years ago, we had a house in the older part of a town. About 6 houses on a city block. My husband decided to try to grow peanuts. Well, there were a lot of squirrels in the neighborhood. My husband saw a squirrel digging in his peanuts over in the side yard and took a shot at him from the 2nd floor bedroom window. I wasn’t home when this happened, which was probably a good thing. I’m surprised one of the neighbors didn’t call the police.
We still joke about it. We have several acres where we are now and are zoned Ag, so we can have the guns here to keep the varmints out of our barn and such.

Yes it would be fun to try.
At the least, you will have a magnet to draw the wild animals in, so set up the cameras and get those super photos, sell them and you will be able to buy new peanuts.

Plus your squirrel stew will be richer and not require extra oils.
