Peanuts

Last Sunday, Levi and I harvested our peanut crop.  I have never grown peanuts before and it was really quite fun.  They grow and flourish and then they flower and then die.  Here are our flowers.

Here is our dead plant.  Once they really die, you just have to dig up the whole root system and sort out the peanuts.  I just gave Levi a trowel and he dug up the peanuts and prepared the ground for the next plant, all at the same time!

And then these are our peanuts.  They were delicious, but do taste different than even the raw peanuts that you buy.  They seemed to be more watery.  That doesn't sound appetizing but they are more delicious, I can assure you.
