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.
Never been diagnosed but I’m pretty sure I’m in a adhd hyper fixation on peanuts watched a ton of videos and now i’m pretty sure I could grow my own peanuts. I shall be a peanut farmer… probably 😂
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!
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.
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!
@@DebRoo11 I’m waiting on mine to finish now. I’m in the same zone and province! Unfortunately only ONE plant survived to grow out of the dozen I planted, they either got eaten or I accidentally pulled them up thinking they were weeds. The one that made it is doing great, but it’ll be a month before I can dig it up. Better luck next year. 😅
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 😄
@@ZackZaqZakXahI just pulled mine from the ground and had no idea what to do now 😅 i do have a dehydrator so that will work for me. I pulled them early bc i didn't think they were doing much of anything and i need room for my fall brassica crops. Well i wasnt expecting so many peanuts and we've been having so much rain
@@DebRoo11 that's great. We have a ton as well. Always nice to see them thriving. And you can use the greens for compost (+nitrogen I believe). The dehydrator turns a week or two long process into hours and is a huge help.
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 !
@@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.
@@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.

Nice! They are very productive. You will yield more as you condition the soil for them.

I think peanut plants are so interesting. A beautiful plant.
They are but they can get away from you fast as well.

I grew Valencia peanuts in zone 5b in Ontario. Was a really easy crop!

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.
The curing process for Virginia jumbo peanuts
Thanks for the dehydrator tip.
No problem 👍
What temperature in the dehydrator for curing
We used lowest setting for 5 hours

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.
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.
I love this man 😍
Thank you.
This helped a lot thanks! 😊
Awesome! Glad it was helpful.
Good video
Thank you
Some videos say cure them out in the hot sun. You said keep out of the sun. Benefits to no sun? Thanks for the video
I’ve never dried them in the sun. Always under cover.

The greenhouse should be fine as long as it’s dry.
There is nothing special to save the seed. Just let them dry out
What is the best way to preserve peanut seed for next season?
Vacuum seal them in a bag.
Very helpful
Awesome! Glad it helped
Uws very helpful! Thank you
You’re welcome
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.
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.
How many days it must stay hang on the line for drying?
At least 14
Can this method work on Virginia jumbo peanuts as well?
Absolutely
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
You didn't say what temperature, to use for drying in the dehydrater
Sorry. Lowest possible setting....around 120f for mine.
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.
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.

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.
I thought you had to wait for the plant to yellow and dry out before you harvest them😏🤷
How to roast peanuts?
Just in the oven.
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?
