Peanuts! I Got Yer Peanuts!

Although they aren't hot roasted peanuts. Quite the opposite.

I've been negligent in updating about the peanuts I grew in the garden this year. I posted about them a couple of times, but the most recent post was in October 2007 - when I pulled them from the ground.

I let all of them dry and they were pretty much dry within a few weeks. All that remained of any substantial size were these five. They have been on the counter all this time and I shelled them last night.

After shelling this is what is left - five small to medium sized nuts and several smaller yet. I threw them away after taking these pictures.

There are seeds left over, so I am definitely going to try to grow them again this year. I'll have to start them earlier in the house to give them a head start and even then it will probably still be difficult to get a good harvest.
