Step 4: Harvesting Your Peanuts
- Time your harvest: Peanuts are typically ready for harvest around 120 to 150 days after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
- Check for readiness: To check if your peanuts are ready for harvest, gently dig up one plant and inspect the pods. They should have turned a mature, dark color and be plump.
- Harvest: Carefully dig up the entire plant, shaking off loose soil. Remove the peanuts from the plant and let them dry in the sun for a day or two.
- Cure the peanuts: Allow the peanuts to air dry for about two to three weeks, ensuring they are protected from rain.
- Store: Store your harvested peanuts in a cool, dry place in a breathable container, such as a mesh bag or a shallow basket.
Conclusion:
Growing peanuts at home is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. With the right seeds, soil, and care, you can produce your own fresh, crunchy peanuts. So why not give it a try and enjoy the satisfaction of homegrown snacks? Happy peanut gardening!
