Way back in July, I planted a few seeds of peanuts in my garden where I also included some updates from my previous blogs.
I didn't really intend to buy these peanuts to plant but they were just for snacks and because some fell while the kids were eating because they had a hard time cracking the shells so some actually feel so I thought of picking them up and that's what I thought about I'll just sow it.
So after a month, yesterday I tried to check on it because peanuts usually mature within three months. And I'm not mistaken, it has matured, but if you can see here, dad put a barrier before I planted it because our pet chickens and the neighbor's ducks tried to peck at it. Unfortunately I should have taken the barrier when it had already grown because it prevented the roots where the peanuts would have grown.
I used a bolo to dig a little and slowly pulled it out and this is what it looks like. Only about nine succeeded from the peanuts I planted, some matured and some didn't, but I pulled them out so I just chose the ones that could be eaten.
Since the rainy season has already started some did not survive insect famine.
I didn't harvest much, but it was satisfying inside that I didn't even intend to plant, but the return to me was double.
The branches were also not wasted because papa's cow had free food.
And that is all about my peanut's first and last harvest this year.
I'll see if I can plant next year.
Thanks for reading this far, until next time. 💛🧡💚
Wow. It is so delicious. It is one of my favorite rootcrops. It is also nutritious and contributes to a good health.
Thanks. I love peanuts too. Thank you for dropping in.
Hi Kabayan, this makes me remember the time when my father used to plant peanuts. I think I was only 5 years old then. And that was the only time that I saw my father planted peanuts. Madalas nyang itanim dati ay pakwan at kamoteng kahoy (which is nauubos kakahingi ng mga kamag-anak namin, hehe).
Hehe, Ganoon ba kabayan. Parang maganda talagang tamnam dyan sa inyo malawak kasi space nyo. Baka itong palayan ne papa na ilang taon ng naka tunganga baka sa susunod na taon tanman nalang to ng iba. sayang kasi ang panahon sa kahihintay sa tubig na masettle para sa irrigation.
Try mo kaya kabayan tamnan yan ng kalamansi, o kaya kamoteng kahoy din.
Parang Kung kalamansi mahirap kabayan meron kaming kalamansi noon pero namatay eh. Tignan namin kung maganda ba ang kamote o kamoteng kahoy siguro.
Namatay yung kalamansi? lagi ba sya may tubig kapag tag-ulan? Ayaw kasi ng kalamansi ang palaging may tubig, mas gusto ng kalamansi yung madalas matuyuan yung lupa nya.
Hehe, nahulaan mo talaga kabayan. Iba kasing lupa sa amin pag tag ulan di natutuyo kaagad.
Matrabaho ba kabayan kung gagawa ka ng kanal?
Hehe, Okay Lang yan kabayan tiyak di malilimotan papa mo “Mapagbigay”. Masaya din sa pakiramdamdam maka tulong sa mga tao.
Tama kabayan, kaya siguro respetado ang pamilya namin ngayon dahil sa mga nagawa ng tatay ko dati.
