Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{How Georgia Peanuts get Harvested}

The way we both bike, in the quiet and rural area, it is also quite interesting to observe the different crops growing along the road.
Now the cotton is being seeded and before that, there were Peanuts growing.
From their harvest on October 22, husband Pieter took some photos with his iPhone 4S, which I love to share with my readers.

The entire world knows peanuts; right?
This is the actual plant and the peanuts grow underground, hence the word groundnut being used in several countries.
But HOW they get harvested is another story...
Here in Georgia, the biggest peanut producing state in the USA, we produce some 2.4 billion pounds annually! 
That's a LOT of peanuts, and lots of that is for export of course.
Here they are harvesting the peanuts.
It is not actually a true nut but a member of the legume family!
That is LOTS of peanuts!
The farmer is leveling out the top...
Of course there is lots of spill on the corners where they turn the machine.
Wildlife will be feasting on them!
A close up...
 Have you ever seen peanut plants on the field or peanuts being harvested?

It is always interesting to be outdoors; so much to see and to learn from.

  3. Yep, I used to live in Georgia, so I've seen them. But most people don't think about where their food comes from or how it is grown. I know I never did. When we went to Sri Lanka years ago, I saw how cinnamon sticks are made and never before had realized it is actually bark from the tree. And on the trip we just returned from, I saw pomegranate for the first time on the tree. So amazing! And tried white mulberries for the first time. And hamleh, which is roasted green chickpeas. So much to experience when we travel the world, even close to home, being aware and noticing what's around us.

  4. Dear Mariette - that is very interesting, I didn't realise peanuts grew like that - I most probablt assumed that they grew on trees.
    Thank you for your recent visits and comments which I have enjoyed reading.

  5. Interesting post Mariette, we don't know much about growing peanuts here. I only remember one of the US presidents used to be a peanut planter (Jimmy Carter?)

  6. Gear photos! I've never seen peanut plants before. Or maybe I just haven't noticed, considering Georgia is U.S.'s biggest peanut producing state! I love peanuts and any kinds of nuts :-)

  7. Dear Mariette,

    Interesting post and thanks for sharing. I did not know they grew this way and it is always good to find out things like this.
    Many thanks for the kind birthday wishes and I did try to send you an email but for some reason it seemed to bounce back, so do not know if you got it.
    Happy new week
    Hugs
    Carolyn

  10. I could not see how they are grown and harvested peanuts, because they are not welcome there. Curiously it is shown and described in the pictures, so now I know how everything looks. * I hope to your nephew like in my country. I really love Krakow. Regards.

  11. It is surprising to see such a large peanut field and lot's of peanuts!!I have ever seen peanuts fields when I lived in Ibaraki prefecture from 1972-1989. There were many fields gathered, but each one is much smaller than yours.

  12. Ma sai che io non avevo mai visto una piantagione di arachidi? Le vostre uscite in bicicletta sono davvero molto interessanti, oltre che salutari, e vi permettono non solo di ammirare paesaggi e panorami che regalano spettacoli unici, ma anche di imparare tante cose. Un abbraccio cara Mariette. Paola
