minus-squaresouthsamurai@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoOkay, this may paint me in a bad light, but I was fucking 40 before I learned peanuts grew underground. I ain’t Joe Rogan stupid, but dang. Nobody around here grew them (that I know of), and I never went anywhere that grew them where I would see them. I assumed they were like any legume, growing above ground like peas or green beans. But noooooo, they’re ground nuts. Which I thought was a different plant entirely. Out of all my damn family on both sides, visiting (and working on) various farms, nobody grew the damn things. So, yeah.
