Just for grins, 2 years ago we put in a row of peanuts and the yield surprised everyone. The only "bad" part was the cleaning after digging them up. They were big, a lot of them were 3 nuts, and very tasty. Still have a mason jar full of them in the pantry.

I can honestly say that I've never considered that one. I might have to when the next garden crop goes in.

To cool at night in these mountains to grow peanuts, sweet potatoes and okra. Everything else grows good.

I smash the young okra pod, dip it in egg, and then cornmeal and FRY it. Stewed okra is kind of slimey.

Ingredients
1 pound of raw "green" peanuts (not the color green, but fresh raw peanuts which are called green peanuts)
1/4 cup kosher salt (or 2 Tbsp table salt)
4 cups water
Optional seasoning
2 Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning, smoked paprika, shrimp boil mix, or even star anise
HOT PEPPER
Method
1 Thoroughly rinse raw unshelled peanuts in water.
2 Put water, salt, seasoning, peanuts in a large stockpot. Bring to a low boil. Cover and reduce the heat just enough to maintain a low boil. Boil for 2 to 3 hours or longer (some boil their peanuts all day), until peanuts reach desired level of softness.
3 Drain. Eat up within a couple of days. Boiled peanuts don't save as well as dry. -
