WE DID IT! | GROWING PEANUTS IN THE BACKYARD GARDEN

We planted two varieties of peanuts this year in our backyard garden -- Valencia Red and Virginia Jumbo. Having never successfully grown peanuts, we didn't really know what to expect. But we think we may have something!
We planted these peanuts back in the spring and most peanut varieties take between 120-140 days to mature. We grew them just like we would grow field peas or cowpeas. We planted them on a double row, using some Nature 10-2-8 fertilizer in the planting furrow. We then side-dressed and hilled them again as the plants got taller.
Join us as we check these peanut plants to see if this was a gardening success or a failure. We'll also check on our fall watermelon plot to see if we have any fruits that are ready to harvest.

I watched you plant them last year, so I picked some up at Walmart and planted them and they came up great. I used my seed peanuts from last years harvest to grow this years. Mine are not turning yellow yet. I will try roasting . Thanks for all the ideas. Love the show.

Second year growing Virginia Jumbo peanuts here... north central Tennessee, on the Cumberland Plateau. They grow just fine and not much problem getting them to grow. No special lime or anything of the sort. We aren't "organic" but pretty close to it, rarely use anything that wouldn't be compliant anyway. Not gonna pay the government fee to use the word. Getting almost time to harvest here, sometime in early October is about right. We'll pull them and hang them to dry for a while, probably in one of the barns, and then pick them off, shell them, and put 'em in the freezer. When we want some peanut butter, we'll get out some, wash 'em, roast 'em, skin 'em, and run 'em through the ol' Vitamix with a bit of salt added. Just a minute or two and "shazzam", some of the best peanut butter a person can eat. Seriously, it's some good stuff. And we know none of it has been sprayed with any kinds of desiccants (do they use Round up for that purpose commercially?) or pesticides or stuff the plants don't really need in our garden setting. We do see some Japanese beetles on them but rarely enough to do much damage. We do have to keep the rows weeded early on but a couple of months in, they are so big that weeds aren't gonna be able to compete. They take quite a lot of space for the amount of peanuts we actually get but we really like growing them, and eating them! My dear wife (from lower Alabama) will take some of the smaller ones and make some boiled peanuts, just a few. And they're good. But I'd much rather have the peanut butter.

@LazyDogFarm Жыл бұрын

Not sure if they still use it, but Paraquat was what they used to use a lot on peanuts around here. They spray it on the peanuts once the plants get up a going a bit. It kills all the weeds and burns the peanut plants a little, but the peanut plants recover and keep growing while the weeds don't.

@ricsgarden7394 Жыл бұрын

Ive been spamming the internet for a few weeks. If you have to cut the vine on the watermelon its not done. Reach down with one finger and it should snap off. The tendril is iffy as a judgement on ripeness. Think of it like a cantaloupe. You would never cut a cantaloupe vine, They will come off on their own. Watermelon is the same principle, just a slight tug though.

@nonyadamnbusiness9887 3 ай бұрын

Agree. When mine start to get mature I turn them a quarter turn one direction, then a few days later a half turn back, then a few days later a half turn in the original direction. It prevents the bottom rotting and when it's mature it separates on turning.

The suggestions about running the mainline up inside each raised bed is spot on and I wish I would’ve thought that far ahead. The mainline going up and over the wooden bed I have doesn’t look necessarily bad but on the 3 Birdies beds it looks kinda weird. Btw I chose the Birdies beds simply because I appreciat Kevin and wanted to further support Epic Gardening. If I were doing it now I’d probably choose Olle to support Travis and Lazy Dog Farm.

I grew up in Statesboro Ga, not far from you. My dad grew peanuts every year but I don’t know the variety. It was a field peanut that we sold . I alway assumed they were for peanut oil. They were not Valencia or Spanish peanuts. We picked them for boiling around early August and then dug them all a few weeks or month later. I can’t agree the Valencia are the best for boiling. They are good. But not what i grew up eating. Anyway, I enjoy your channel and think you did good on your first try at peanuts. Now that I live in the upstate of SC, I am going to give peanuts a try and see how it goes. Keep uo the good work.

We grow Schronce Black. Days to maturity = "as many as we can get". Usually planted 1st week of June. Usually harvest 1st or 2nd week of Oct. Pretty much limited by Last and First frost planting window . 120-130 days most years. Well worth growing but takes A LOT of space if you want Peanuts stored to snack on all year.

I may be nuts, but I'm gonna try growin' peanuts here in Idaho. Certainly I'll need to extend my season and probably use some row cover. If we have the heat that we've had over the past two years, there is a chance it could work. For the last two months we've been hotter than you! Anyway, if you want to trade some Domingo giant tomato seeds (direct descendants from the 9.67 lb. world record from a few years back) for some Valencia peanut seeds, let me know.

I've never seen anyone pick peanuts off the plant immediately after harvesting. The commercial guys spray something that kills the top and they harvest after the tops are dry. But for the average home gardener I thought you needed to hang them to dry. Not exactly sure of the reasoning but that's how I've seen it done

@LazyDogFarm Жыл бұрын

The commercial guys around here just flip them with the peanut digger behind the tractor. They let the peanuts dry, then they use the peanut picker to pick them off the plants. Once at the peanut butter factory, the peanuts are rehydrated from their shriveled state.
