[lottie dolly]

another thing that can be done is....sow some now,and some later on,will have to do mine later on account of,i do not need to be around compost at the mo.
One thing about us planting at differing times is,see what difference,if any,it makes,all adds fun and interest to .....project peanuts,

Not planting yet. Will start thinking about next month

Ok, i do not think this will work as goodness knows how long they have been out of the shell, so i am experimenting and put 5 into a pot of compost to see if i even have any luck i will sing to them and hopefully encourage them

I will sing to them and hopefully encourage them

Now don't go scaring them Lisa...............a gentle talk will be sufficient.

I all have a go. I buy them from tesco to eat as a snack. Will see if they will grow.

Welcome on board Saffire. Check the packet to see if they are Roasted, if so they are no good for planting.

[Snadger]

Mine have germinated and are now sitting on the window sill greening up, hopefully. Another week then I'll pot them on.

Brilliant Snadge, there is hope for the rest of us....................

Have just noticed I have signs of life from my peanuts



Two have appeared so far. I planted these on the 5th of January. Think I will try and plant some on the 5th of every month and see if planting them early or later in the year makes any difference.

[Lisasbolt]

Nothing here but only been 7/8 days. My mum is under strict instructions to bring some over in March, bet she buys roasted ones

[Bigmallly]

No show here either but then again they were sown on the 6th with no heat.
