I'm very late in posting about the peanuts, so it's being posted today.
We grew heirloom peanuts last year. A small "test" patch area of the garden, and although a few did not sprout leaves, many did.
We planted Negrito Manduvi peanuts, and purchased the starter peanuts from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.
We pulled the plants (or I should say "I" pulled them), and allowed the tops to dry before removing the peanuts.
The peanuts were then roasted in the oven with salt. I think I roasted them at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes.
These peanuts are very small, but tasty. Most shells were not even an inch long, leaving each nut inside a 1/2 inch long or less. These little nuggets have powerful flavor, even at such a small size. They have a black skin on the peanut itself. I guess I should have taken a photo of that too, but I think I posted it last year.
Will I plant peanuts again? Maybe. We were lucky to have hot temps, which helps the peanuts grow. I'm sure we'll find something "new" to plant this coming garden season.

Me, I love them boiled which is weird for someone born in the north, but I got the taste for them when I lived in Georgia.
Thanks for giving me the idea.
God bless.
