The...Thanks for the peanut encouragement, Jeannie. They're frequently grown in the eastern part of the state, with sandier soil, but not so much here, where it's all clay. But if you can do it, maybe I can too. Enjoy your asters!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156180100389224114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-25222670849105965692018-10-20T10:33:32.081-04:002018-10-20T10:33:32.081-04:00Your asters look exactly like mine.

He kept saying, "Next year it will look great." He was right and it was worth the wait.<br /><br />We haven't dug our peanuts yet this year. In fact, I didn't plant any because of the bumper crop we had the following year. Peanuts really store well in glass jars in my cool dark basement. Anyway, a few came up this year in the tomato row from peanuts left in the ground from the past year. I had no idea they could possibly last a winter in the ground. I can't dig them until we have a deep, heavy rain because I have hard clay soil. Some years they do great, other years there is nothing. Don't give up.<br /><br />Jeannie@GetMeToTheCountry<br /><br />Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.com
