RE: Peanuts
If yu can get hold of that many peanuts, shell out some, freeze them in quart freezer bags and plant them in a plot next spring. If you think deer go for Clover, you haven' t seen a Peanut patch torn up by deer. If any get a chance to set peanuts, they will root them out of the ground also. The only fallback is they are annual.
