It is time to harvest our peanuts. We are so excited to show you how to harvest and cure this easy to grow crop. Seriously, peanuts are easy to grow and they love the soft sandy soil of the South. You will have a super easy time harvesting them by just following a few easy steps. Make sure you are diligent in your drying process so that mold does not develop in the peanuts.
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to come see us on:

I just attempted to grow peanuts in N. Illinois this year and I must say it worked waaaaaay better than expected! About 30 plants gave me a bit more than 600 individual peanuts.
Nice! They are very productive. You will yield more as you condition the soil for them.
Very helpful! I am growing them for the first time this year--just a few plants in the backyard. I am waiting and waiting to harvest, but the time is coming! Thanks for the tips and advice! God bless!
Glad it helped!

I think peanut plants are so interesting. A beautiful plant.
They are but they can get away from you fast as well.
Some crops are sprayed with glyphosate as a dessicant prior to harvest and can show up at a health market labeled "organic" . Is there anyone out there spraying peanuts with Roundup??? (I eat a lot of peanuts) PLEASE RESPOND, I'll get notification. Thankyou.
I want to grow peanuts next spring!!!! Can’t wait
They were pretty easy. They can get away from you fast though. I need better row spacing next year.
This helped a lot thanks! 😊
Awesome! Glad it was helpful.
Cool. I grew some in northern midwest area and they did just fine but I need more sand in my soil. Plus my dog got into the garden it was like a peanut massacre the next morning 😄
I love this man 😍
Thank you.
Uws very helpful! Thank you
You’re welcome
Super helpful! Been wanting to try growing peanuts for years, but I live in Canada where it tends to be too cold to grow peanuts even in the fairly warm part that I'm in. But this year I finally found a cultivar developed for the area that can grow in our relatively short season. So I'm finally trying them out next year!
Glad it was helpful. Good luck.
Thanks for the dehydrator tip.
No problem 👍
What temperature in the dehydrator for curing
Very helpful
Awesome! Glad it helped
I'd love more detailed info on preserving and storing them safely and properly. That crucial part was skipped over pretty quickly.
What fertilizers or amendments did you use?
I didn't amend the soil. I have a naturally sand loam.
If you want to keep them longer, vacuum seal them in jars.
Thanks for this helpful video. For the loose peanuts that you put in the dehydrator, how long do you dehydrate for?
You're welcome. I usually put them in there for about 2 hours at 145F.
Good video
Thank you
What is the best way to preserve peanut seed for next season?
Vacuum seal them in a bag.
Good information, how long do they take to get ready, which type of soil and do they need lots of water?
They take about 4 to 5 months to grow and love sandy soil. Just normal watering is fine.
A squirrel planted a peanut in my balcony garden. It's been growing beautifully and I'm not quite sure what to do with it.
Very cool. Let it grow and harvest it like I did in the video.
@@CountryLivingExperience that's the plan. Then I can plant more squirrel nuts.
Thanx for the video... how long did you dehydrate loose pegs?
You're welcome. The plants with the peanuts were hung for a few weeks. After separation from the plant, I placed them in the dehydrator for 2 hours.
Thank you for the video! Can you eat them right out of the ground, raw? Or do you need to cure them 1st?
You're welcome. You should let them cure and dry before you eat them.
@@CountryLivingExperience Thanks again!
They taste like peas when raw
Hi! Your video was super helpful! I already pulled 1/4 of my peanuts and laid them out to dry in ball boxes in my greenhouse- now I’m worried! I absolutely do not have the space to hang them on the plant undercover. Do you think they’ll be alright in the greenhouse or do you have any other suggestions? Also is there anything specific you do for seed saving next years crop? Thank you so much! Subscribing !
The greenhouse should be fine as long as it’s dry.
There is nothing special to save the seed. Just let them dry out
You didn't say what temperature, to use for drying in the dehydrater
Sorry. Lowest possible setting....around 120f for mine.
How many days it must stay hang on the line for drying?
At least 14
can you plant the peanut plant back into ground
after harvesting
No but you will absolutely miss a few peanuts and they will resprout quickly.
@@CountryLivingExperience so how do you regrow your next crop then
@@mariahunt9963 Dry them out and save them for the next season to replant at the proper time. Although, you will miss some in the ground and they will resprout when the temps are correct. I have had peanuts come up in the same spot for 4 years and I only intentionally planted there once.
I've done this in South FL and gotten a second crop.
@@UglyHouseInvestor You are right. I should have qualified my answer. If you live in a warm enough zone, you can absolutely get 2 crops in a season. Too cold in my zone but South Florida is perfect.
Bunch of my peanuts rotted guess the conditions were too wet I had them hanging in my shed with fans circulating air
Sorry to hear that. Yes, sounds like they were just too wet.
Hi new here, first thank you. Can see please show how to clean them them you where going to boil them.
Hello. We don't boil them. We roast them or save them for seed.
How to roast peanuts?
Just in the oven.
I thought you had to wait for the plant to yellow and dry out before you harvest them😏🤷
U have it all wrong ! The peanut if formed at the end of the pegs only !!!!
Also, I didn't really see any peanuts after the first one...? Perhaps he harvested too early, before many blooms became peanuts?
