Trying to eat healthier, (edit for me this means lower sugar, less carbs, more protein) and it seems like everything that is sweet, sweet-ish, or a snack but also sold as healthy has peanuts or is peanuts. I’m not allergic to it, but I am tired of peanut butter cookies, peanuts in a snack bar, peanuts on their own, peanuts in a snack mix.

    I want to try growing peanuts so bad, but I am renting right now and I don’t think they would grow worth a fuck in a grow bag

      Sure they would. I semi-accidentally grew some in a pot once.

      It does seem like something that could be worth just trying. I can’t imagine the seeds/nuts would cost much. So if you already have grow bags there’s not much to lose by experimenting with it.

      Do you have a balcony that gets some direct light? I tried balcony growing in a northwest facing apartment balcony. It was enough to keep some things alive, but not enough light to actually get much flowers or fruits. I definitely appreciate your frustration.

      That was one of our main motivations to buy a house tbh. So many plants never truly thrive in containers, and spending hundreds on grow lights to grow $10 worth of food is hard to justify.

        It’s my main motivation too. lol

        I’m looking but the market is dead in the winter and with rates where they are.
