Peanuts are a great addition to your homework gardenas they require minimal care and on the other hand provide generous yields. If you're looking to try something new in your garden next season, maybe it's time to take a closer look at the potential of peanuts.
Peanuts need a long growing season and relatively sandy soil, although some varieties can grow in clay soil. However, if you add enough organic matter when hoeing or planting, most peanuts will be able to grow in clay soils.
Peanuts are a crop with a long growing season - about 150 days. Initially, they grow slowly, but their flowering begins as early as 25-30 days after germination. The culture blooms throughout the growing season. The flowers open in the morning and bloom only one day. After fertilization, the flower stalk grows very quickly and bears the fertilized seed bud, which is driven into the soil and the fruit is formed. A plant has 250 to 600 flowers, but not every flower bears fruit.
Only the early flowering flowers and the buds embedded in the soil bear fruit. The flowers formed later do not bear fruit because they are high on the plant and cannot be embraced.
Plant peanut seeds at a depth of no more than 3 to 4 centimeters. Then add a thick layer of compost. Know that you need to be careful when weeding around the plant. If you dig too deep, you can damage it. After flowering, the branches of the plant fall to the ground, and it begins to produce peanuts. From now on, weed only by hand.
Also, once your plants start flowering, it is important not to allow them to dry out, because when you dry, the flowers wither and fall off, which will significantly reduce your harvest.
Throughout the growing season peanuts should be fertilized. Rotten manure or compost has a good effect on the plant. To save weeding by hand, it is a good idea to mulch around the plant to reduce weed growth.
And remember, there is nothing tastier than Bulgarian peanuts!
