    Question Nuts

    Does anybody know where they can get seeds for peanuts of any kind? I know cashews have a poisonous shell and can be dangerous when picked. So I can understand not being able to buy the seeds for cashews. But other peanuts? Now, I'm not talk about walnuts, just plain old peanuts.

    Peanuts are a somewhat complicated crop for the home gardener, they aren't hardy in much of the country, and the nuts (not actual nuts really) are underground.

    I have never thought about growing peanuts. I don't think that they grow them in my climate though here in Ohio.

    For a home gardener, the best nut I'd probably recommend growing would be pecans, followed closely by walnuts (if you're up north, most pecan varieties you can't grow, so walnuts it is).

    To be honest, I was thinking more along the lines of cashews. I did not know that peanuts grew underground. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of walnuts from a tree.

    cashews (and almonds) also require warmer weather than what most of the country provides (you're not in florida or southern cal are you?).

    Like I said, for most of the country it is pecans and walnuts.

    Oh.. and the seed for a nut tree... is the nut.. but really, if you want to grow them, you're best off buying a small tree, they aren't expensive, you can get really small ones for less than $10, and slightly larger (say 3-4ft ones, shipped bareroot in the mail) for around $20.

    Here in the south we have walnut trees all over the place just growing wild, at least here in Tennessee.

    Well, that's one nut you don't have to worry about at Christmas. :-) I also like good old Filberts a.k.a. hazelnuts. I call them mommy nuts. My mother's first name is Hazel. My brother started that when he was a toddler. I can still remember the look on people's faces when I would ask my mother for mommy nuts at the store. They thought I was insane.
