Hey again Green Deane. I'll be asking this question on a lot of videos so apologizes in advanced haha. When is a good time to harvest groundnuts? Would late August be alright?

[EatTheWeeds]

@kingcollie No, it takes two years to put on a "nut" so when ever you find them large enough is okay.

[DuncanDonuts3]

Gee. Now I want to know what a ground nut tastes like.

HEH

Cool! Thanks for these videos!

[EatTheWeeds]

KInd of a cross between a potato and a mild turnip.

[Milkman12114]

The nuts grow under ground? So what if any do the leaves look like?

[EatTheWeeds]

@Milkman12114 I you go to my website I have pictures. Its a vine that resembles poison ivy except it has leafets of three or five or seven.

These things are great natives, you can buy improved (but still purebred) cultivars and plant them, the grow well, plant some to eat and let them run and divide and give the extras to yorur friend or go plant them in the wild if there is suitable habitat. can't every be too many of these!

[EatTheWeeds]

It tastes far better than it looks.
