PEANUT - BIG PINK
Arachis hypogaea
Big Pink is a large, tall, bush with dense foliage but because of its height it allows good airflow around and under the plant. Flowering should begin around 45 if enough warmth is available. This variety is resistant to many peanut problems and its dried floiage make high quality hay. it is a variety well worth a try especially in southern regions where it can be protected from cold winds.
Plant your seeds in the garden about two weeks after the last spring frost or start them in peat pots about six weeks prior to transplanting. Place one or two seeds about 3 cm deep in a hole and cover with soil or compost. Keep the plant watered until germination occurs and protected from cool winds. After around 45 days flowers should begin to arive and when pollinated the flower will develop a "peg" which will grow down into the soil where the nuts will develope under the soil. peanuts like light friable soil and can tolerate low soil moisture levels. Do not fertilise them because that will hinder the nut development because peanuts are legumes and create their own nitrogen. After the plant dies down in autumn dig as you would potatoes. The plants also benefit from a little hilling up in the same way potatoes do. Space plants 30 cm apart.
