Our horses old water tank rusted out so I begged my hubby not to take it to the scrap yard and let me plant in it...maybe I can try a peanut plant or two in it as it is pretty large.

I've been planning on planting peanuts for some time since they'd be a perfect match to the lemongrass and ginger for a Thai dish, but never seem to remember when I'm plant shopping!

Yes, I love a challenge and sometimes my choices are just that.

I didn't plant our peanuts the squirrels and Blue Jays did. They "hide" peanuts for later that we put out for them during winter and they pop up all around the garden. I will have to try roasting some. I didn'tknow what to do with them. I tried one today without doing anything to it. It tasted like a boiled peanut. UGH That flavor is an acquired taste. Enjoy your peanuts.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-24823219535862610792011-10-29T17:03:16.878-04:002011-10-29T17:03:16.878-04:00I think you may be my gardening sister, since we b...I think you may be my gardening sister, since we both like to plant things that are new to us, and to push the zone thing. I like that you actually grew peanuts. A squirrel plants them all over my garden and they sprout but haven't produced any peanuts for us. Well done, peanut farmer.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-60038470503360169332011-10-29T16:58:28.350-04:002011-10-29T16:58:28.350-04:00That's pretty cool!
