To clarify- I normally do eat ALL the white part of the spring onions and am well aware its flavoursome and edible! I only leave the stalk a bit longer if I know I'm going to be planting it to regrow, so I can re harvest later.
Had great fun growing peanuts in the greenhouse one year, just so I could say I'd grown them. I planted a few of those 'monkey nuts' still in their natural shell in pot of compost.
BTW peanuts are not a nut but a vegetable, they are from the legume family of vegs.
In our old garden, not far from where we are now, the soil was extremely fertile and the garden was sheltered. Our most prolific weed was peanuts. An old lady, a few doors away, fed the squirrels. The next weed was chickweed - perhaps she had budgies too.
Re-growing is really taking cuttings under another name and for the most part should be straight forwards. Using saved seed however could be a lottery as a lot of F1 seed is used commercially and you may well get a crop, but don't be surprised if it looks and/or tastes different to the original, still edible but may not be the same.
