A funny little story

[Celtic Rogue]

I feed the squirrels in my backyard. A few years back in the fall, I fed them some peanuts in shell that I had left over. They took them and then I forgot about it.

Then the next spring I started getting these strange weeds popping up all around my beds and yard. I pulled some up and noticed what looked like little peanuts on the roots. I took a leaf and looked it up on the web ... and sure enough peanuts.

So I let the other plants mature and waited. The 4 plants I harvested gave me a nice bunch of fresh peanuts. I cleaned them and roasted them in the oven. They were awesome.

So I now grow some peanuts for a nice protien source and snacking fun. I guess living in Virginia doesnt hurt! ;)

I love it when volunteers turn up, and produce something!

Well yes I am... LOL turn about is fair play... those tree rats keep stealing my bird food! But I actually like them... I have one that I named split because he has a split in his ear. He comes and actually knocks on my sliding glass door begging for peanuts... he will eat out of my hand. ;D

My grandparents used to feed Cheerios by hand to a few squirrels.
