I make it all the time, and it is just like chicken broth.

Peanuts don't require that much water, especially after they peg.  I'd
water and fertilize early, then slack off once the vines peg over.

I have to deal with the north wind, too, but mostly in the Spring and
Fall.  Can you grow peaches, pears and apples there?
If I might ask, where are you in Oregon?  I'm hoping to get back out
there sometime next year and maybe this time I'd work my way up the
coast......still regret not getting to meet Karen on the last trip...
and I have always wanted to ride that jet boat up the Rogue, set up the
telescope at Crater Lake, etc.

SISU! (Finnish--There is no single word in English that encompasses
all that sisu means, but it combines the following ideas: guts, pep,
determination, stubbornness, perseverance, hardiness, stamina, go, do,
nerve, spunk, pluck, and grit.  It's like "Just Do It!" & "Go for It!")
