Growing Peanuts in Nova Scotia - Annapolis Seeds

Owen Bridge of Annapolis Seeds (www.annapolisseeds.com) talks about growing peanuts in a northern climate. With the right variety and the right spot (well draining soil in full sun, with about 120 frost-free days) peanuts can be a surprisingly easy crop to grow.

Are those chilis growing behind you?

[AnnapolisSeeds]

@jamesbphoto Good eye... those are indeed!

I'm so fascinated to think that we can grow peanuts here in NS. I've watched your video on Peanut propagation, So how do I go about ordering some peanut seeds from you for next spring?

My e-mail address is jeanie.degaust@gmail.com Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

@emerise09 Thanks Jeanie! Unfortunately for this year I've realized I won't have quite enough peanuts to sell after all... but next year after more multiplying I definitely will. I'd be happy to mail you a catalogue though with all the other seeds. By the way, OSC Seeds in Ontario offers the same strain of peanuts that I grew, maybe check them out if you want some for this season!

Hmm, I wonder if I can grow this on the Western portion of Newfoundland. Zone 5a. I'm stunned.

Thanks for the info. I will contact Ontario Seeds to see if I get get started. My husband and I have been growing, hazelnuts, eatable walnuts, butternuts. Also Black Walnuts - we had a bumper crop this year - about 2000 walnuts, phew - what can we do with them.
