Fertilization: Add a balanced, organic fertilizer once a month.

Mulching: Optional mulch on top to retain soil moisture and reduce weeds.

Support: Peanuts are low-growing, but small sticks can help support vines if needed.

6. Flowering and Pegging

Peanut plants produce small yellow flowers after 30–40 days.

Flowers will form “pegs” that grow downward into the soil to develop peanuts underground.

7. Harvesting

Peanuts are ready to harvest 120–150 days after planting, or when leaves turn yellow.

Gently dig around the base of the plant to lift the pods without damaging them.

Air-dry harvested peanuts for 2–3 weeks before consuming or storing.
