Here's how to grow peanuts. They are one of the most fun things I've ever grown.

PEEEE nuts

shoot the rooster

OMG! I am a simple home grower - but thanks for the professional info! :)

I think you just talked me into planting peanuts.

thank you.

going to try in Fairbanks Alaska.....spring of 2017

so how did they turn out?

Don't know this from experience, but fyi, I just read that the pinkish-brown seed coverings need to be left on or they won't germinate. Maybe some will and some won't... but if there's any doubt, makes sense to leave them on (as opposed to the bare, tan-colored peanut). Thank you for the excellent and informative video!

Don't get roasted lmao! It's a shame you have say that.

How long are peanut vines ?

How deep did you plant them?

I live in the South and peanuts are still a pain to grow....they are a picky plant!!!! When you explained about your soil and where you are I thought, heaven help you!!! LOL ...A helpful tip for growing peanuts....I always put my rows side by side with 2 feet between(easier for the tiller)...then 1 week before I plant peanuts I fertilize the soil with a triple 13 fertilizer and till it in.....That helps them produce a lot more nuts...do it again down the center of the row when the plant just starts to flower(before the runners) and hill the plant....you have to do peanuts just like potatoes.... Make a mound around the plant for the plant to make. That is what my grandfather always said so, I do it that way. I think you will grow a lot more peanuts, per plant, if you hill them and make sure to fertilize often!!!....I get about 150 peanuts per plant(before opening the shell) we boil them in salt water(rock salt and boil to taste then drain the water) or Cajun spices instead of drying them...they freeze good when boiled. Hope this helps!!! Good luck this year!!!!!

Ring that Roosters neck before the next video.

I love how people get mad and criticize you when all you did was make a video trying to help people, its like they think you have to make videos for them. If they don't like it they don't have to watch but I think your doing a good job

Hi pretty lady! Awesome video very informative, I look forward to growing some peanuts this year! your garden looks beautiful very organized! I'm looking at your trellis for your beans! and it looks awesome do you have a tutorial on that? Also I was gonna do the string method for my tomatoes have you ever tried this one, I see your have the panel, it's a lot more expensive so I wanted to see if the string work?

This video has the best comments lol.

Well, ok, it would have been nice to see your face..not your legs. But try for video

Very nice garden.

Just googled and stumbled upon your video because I want to grow some peanuts. I have a small space, but I utilize it well. I know just growing about 12 plants will be enough on my property. Thanks so much.
