Peanut Planting and Growing Tips
ADVERTISEMENT
How to grow peanuts? Just put them in a feeder & some will grow either by birds or squirrels. Same principal applies to Sunflowers. I have both growing every year thanks to wild friends. FYI: Peanuts can be shelled or not & they will grow.
Semachiah- we love when nature helps our gardening endeavors!
I live in central Ohio and I often feed raw shelled peanuts to the blue jays and also as a distraction for the squirrels so that the birds get a chance to eat the suet cakes. I pulled what I thought was a weed from my flower garden to notice that it was a PEANUT growing! I guess the squirrels are trying to help make sure that I have a steady supply LOL! Well I noticed another plant growing so I decided to let it be and see what happens. Fingers crossed because this is truly a first for me but I'm excited.
We are looking forward to hearing about your success!
I live in Clovis, Ca and I just got some raw peanuts at the market. When is the good time for me to plant them?
There is a jay bird who frequents my yard and plants peanuts. It will use rocks to break open the shell, and then bury the open shell-and-nut to grow in window box planters, in the parking strip, under the spruce tree; all over the place. Presumably it’s trying to grow more peanuts.
Awesome!
I live in the England, in the south. Yesterday I found 3 peanut seedling growing in a potted plant in my garden. I assume this was thanks to the squirrels that I get in the garden. At first I thought it was clover growing but when I pulled them out the peanut was at the base.
I have now re potted them separately to grow on and will put them in the garden in about a months time to see if I can produce nuts. Never had this before but we did have record temperatures over the just month of over 24 degrees. A case of watch this space I think!
Is there an update. Did you actually get some peanuts? How many? Did you eat them?
Hi Judy,
I also live in the south of England and have squirrels visiting my garden. I feed them peanuts in their shells (I know that's naughty but they are soooo cute), I am always finding peanut plants in my garden cos they have a habit of burying them as part of their winter stash. Having read this I might try letting some of them grow on to full sized plants for a bit of fun.
