May
6, 1932 We planted peanuts again. 1½ pounds of shelled peanuts were
planted. John and I hoed. Mama and I went to Meade.
The Siemens saved peanuts from the
previous year’s crop to plant every year.
The seed peanuts should not be roasted, and they should be good quality
peanuts. They dug holes in the garden
and planted two raw peanuts in each hole.
In fall the peanuts would be harvested and roasted. Then when company came over or on Sunday
afternoons, everyone would eat peanuts and drop the shells on the floor while
visiting. When the company left, there
was a mess of peanut shells to sweep up.
Eating peanuts was a good pastime to do while visiting.
