Peanuts Overview<\/h3>
DESCRIPTION<\/td>Growing and harvesting peanuts is a little like hosting your own treasure hunt. These warm season plants are easy to grow in areas with long, hot summers and moist, well-drained soil. When the peanut foliage turns yellow, it’s time to go on a dig for your treasure. The underground nuts are ready to eat a few weeks after digging and drying. Grow peanuts in the vegetable garden where the soil is loose and moist.<\/td><\/tr>

Types of Peanuts<\/span><\/h2>

Peanuts are known by several names\u2014goobers, goober peas, groundpeas, and earth nuts are just a few. Peanuts are classified by their nut type. Virginia types are large-podded and contain 1 or 2 large kernels per pod. Spanish types are smaller-podded and contain 2 or 3 kernels per pod. Both Virginia and Spanish types can be grown in the home garden. Some peanut plants grow in a clump while others produce runners.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div><\/span>

Peanut Plant Care<\/span><\/h2>

Peanuts grow best in full sun and\u00a0well-drained soil<\/a>. This root crop languishes in clay and poorly drained soil. Plant peanuts after the danger of frost has passed and soil is at least 65\u00b0F. Sow seeds 1 to 1\u00bd inches deep and 6 to 8 inches apart. Row spacing for bunch types should be about 24 inches apart, and 36 inches apart for runner types.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Peanut plants bloom about 30 to 40 days after germination. After pollination, peanuts develop in 9 to 10 weeks. Peanut plants flower over a period of several weeks, meaning all the pods do not mature at the same time. Promote a strong peanut crop by cultivating around plants to remove weeds. Work carefully and shallowly, being careful not to damage peanut roots.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

Harvest peanuts when the foliage begins to turn yellow. Use a spading fork to gently lift the peanut plants out of the ground. Shake off loose soil. Cure or dry plants by hanging them in a warm, dry, shaded place, such as a shed or garage, for about two weeks. After 2 weeks shake off any remaining soil and pull peanuts pods from the plants. Continue to air-dry the peanuts for an additional 1 to 2 weeks.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
