Here's something on peanut viability. Worth reading before gobbing off! 2 to 10 years depending on conditions.

All the peanuts I've grown have always been from loose nuts from bird feed bags left in the kitchen cupboard. They all grow easily provided the soil is warm and not wet.

olliec nice try but viability as described in the link post requires low temps and other special conditions. since the seed mentioned earlier was not stored under those conditions. That length viability does not apply.

QuoteStorage at a controlled temperature of 17 to 20 C kept the seed from deteriorating appreciably for a 4-year period, after which time seed viability rapidly diminished.

That's 62 - 68°F. Did you confuse centigrade and fahrenheit, TGG? Not to worry, many beginners do at first, I certainly used to.
Lesson for life:
1. Breathe in     2. Breathe out     3. Repeat

That's the sort of mistake you should expect from an american.
