Useful gardening information

Peanuts are grown for their nutritious value, providing protein, fats, and fiber, and because they are nitrogen-fixing legumes that improve soil health. The plants are also hardy, fun to grow due to their unique underground development, and can be used for various food products like peanut butter and roasted snacks.

Peanut seeds are planted one to two inches deep, one every six inches or so apart, in rows about three feet apart. The seeds do best in sandy soil, especially soil rich in calcium. When the soil temperature is warm (65-70 F.) given enough water the seeds will sprout. In about two weeks, the first "square" of four leaflets will unfold above the peanut field. Thirty to forty days after emergence the plants bloom, "pegs" form and enter the soil. The peanut shells and kernels develop and mature during the next 60 to 70 day period. Depending on the variety, 120 to 160 frost free days are required for a good crop.
