Peanut Picking

The peanut is unusual because it flowers above the ground, but fruits below the ground. Peanuts are harvested with a combine.

The green peanuts are almost ready for harvest.
The peanut is a nitrogen-fixing plant. The roots form nodules, which absorb nitrogen from the air and provide enrichment and nutrition to the plant and soil.
From planting to harvesting the growing cycle takes about four to five months, depending on the variety.
Peanuts are actually legumes - not nuts.
