Peanuts!

[antipodes]

A friend at work has offered me some peanut plants! He has lovingly grown them from peanuts (he's originally from Africa so has it down to a fine art). I am excited about this! Any tips from anyone? What kind of yield will I get? And where should I plant them?

Next year I am going to do a sweet potato challenge with him, as he says he has a great crop and will give me all the tips for it!  gardening is such a sociable activity! He also brought in a bowl of fresh strawberries into work for our team, sweet isn't it?

In the UK I'd grow them indoors but in SW France you may have more suitable climate. I'd ask the chap that grew them :)

I don't think you will get a crop outdoors in the UK
Last year my daughter in law carefully dug up and potted up lots of peanut plants - from where the squirrels planted them, lovingly tended them but the results were disappinting - this year she's just pulling them up!
