Time!
Peanuts are ready to harvest about 120–140 days after planting (when the leaves begin to yellow).
• Gently pull up the entire plant.
• Shake off soil and hang it upside down in a warm, dry place to cure for 1–2 weeks.
• Once cured, remove the peanuts and enjoy your homegrown snack!
Bonus Tips:
• Start peanuts in early spring once the soil is warm (70–80°F / 21–27°C).
• Rotate containers each season to avoid soil fatigue.
• You can reuse soil, but refresh with compost between plantings.
