Monkey Nut Challenge!

**veggiechicken** · 10-11-2015, 12:29 AM

Just mention a Nut and I'm there

I accept your Challenge. Never tried growing a Monkeynut.
There'll be Homegrown peanut butter on the menu soon

I have found this....

How to Grow Peanuts (with Pictures) - wikiHow

And this.....

National Peanut Board � How to Grow Peanuts In Your Own Garden

But can't seem to find out the viability time of the nut.
I bought some a couple of years ago to decorate a wreath and have a few left.
If the nuts are viable I'll join you too!

Very pretty leaves!

I would do but non of us eat monkey nuts so can't really justify to the OH the reason I'd need to buy a full bag just to see if I can grow them.

Will they grow or have they been 'treated' not to?

There's only one way to find out

. But I Don't think they will be treated.

mmmmm....homemade peanut butter!

I'm in!

and to get us all in the mood.....

Super quick cheats chicken satay

put 2 teaspoons each of ground ginger, cumin, coriander and tumeric in a bowl.
Add some diced chicken and a glug of oil.
mix and leave in the fridge for a bit.

When you're ready for dinner...
Fry off your chicken.

Put half a jar of peanut butter in a saucepan with half a jar of water.
Add more of the same spice mix as you did for the chicken but instead of oil, add a glug of soy sauce.
heat gently, stirring occasionally to make a thick sauce.

Put chicken into sauce to finish cooking through, serve with rice and salad or with noodles.

Not one for me I'm afraid - my sunny areas are far too valuable to use for an experiment with a crop that I can take or leave at best.

Your growing them to feed the birds NVG..............

If they are treated then it'd only be on the hard outer shell.

The link I put up says don't use the ones already out of their shells as they dry out...freshly open them yourself- so if they have been sprayed, I doubt anything will have got inside?

**Bigmallly** · 10-11-2015, 09:15 AM

Good to see so many on board & fully understand those who can't or don't want to join in............it's just a bit of fun really.........

.........a Ginger challenge may follow, who knows..............
