We’re not talking tons, but the boys are pretty proud of their harvest of peanuts.

Peanuts have small, yellow flowers that grow into “pegs” instead of becoming fruit. When the peg reaches the soil, it burrows in and forms a peanut. So, of course, you don’t really know how well they’ve done until you start loosening plants with a garden fork and flipping the roots and pegs to the top.

And if you wait too long to harvest, some of them start to sprout again before the peanut is even separated from the peg. Oops!
