Growing Peanuts

That is right. We live in Georgia and we grew peanuts. However, I live on a rock in Georgia in an area where peanuts are not prevalent – that is farther south.

We planted our small garden in raised beds with soil purchased and delivered by a large retailer. We also purchased just one peanut plant from a local nursery when we bought tomato plants. It was just for fun.

This project started long before we started home schooling. However, we wanted our daughter to learn how things grow, including peanuts.

On Saturday, my daughter and husband harvested our plant. They were both very pleased with the results.

I think is a rather impressive harvest.

My daughter gained a life science lesson.

We gained a few peanuts that will be ready to eat in a couple of weeks.

Next year, we plan on planting a couple more.
