🥜 Has Anybody Here Tried Growing Crops That Probably Shouldn’t Work In Their Climate?
This year I decided to try growing peanuts in Wisconsin.
Which immediately escalated into:
🐿️ squirrels digging everything up
❄️ racing frost dates🌱 rebuilding the raised beds
😂 and me questioning my decisions multiple times
But somehow…
…the peanuts are actually growing now.
I finally documented the full experiment inside a new Rooted Field Note covering:
- the soil mix
- frost timing
- squirrel protection
- raised beds vs containers
- and what’s actually working so far in Zone 5
Curious what weird crop experiments everybody else has tried too 👀🌱
