MawMaw remembers as a young girl, her neighbor Mr. Dudley grew peanuts. Peanuts in Louisiana is not a common crop, so it was fun to see how this crop was grown. The peanut is unusual because it flowers above the ground, but fruits below the ground. Typical misconceptions of how peanuts grow place them on trees (like walnuts or pecans) or growing as a part of a root, like potatoes. Mr. Dudley, your typical friendlyCajun farmer, was always willing to share his crop.
