Cultivating peanuts and okra (Groundnut growing and harvest time for okra)

First, let’s start with the cultivation progress of peanuts. (Groundnut growing) How hard is it to grow peanuts? No, Taking care of peanuts is quite easy. It mainly involves hilling up the soil as harvest time approaches, watering when the soil gets dry, and they’re growing well.

Peanuts under cultivation

Peanuts have many pegs, so I’m looking forward to the harvest time now. The peanuts peg is the part that grows after the flowers of peanuts fall off. Peanuts grow on this peg.

The pegs of peanuts are extending into the neighboring okra plot.

The full grown okra plant is thriving, and we are harvesting okra.

The cultivation progress of cucumbers and basil (Basil and cucumber plant care)

We are growing cucumbers vertically. (Growing cucumbers on a trellis.) The cucumbers are bearing fruit, but there are increasing numbers of bent ones. When cucumbers start bending more, it seems like a sign that the plants are getting tired, so maybe the end of cultivation is approaching.

The cucumber fruit

I started to notice changes in the cucumbers around mid-July.

I thought cucumber cultivation was over, but it started to pick up a bit around late July.

After pinching off the tops, basil plants have started to grow side shoots, and the amount of leaves has increased.

The cultivation progress of eggplant, ginger, and green pepper

Finally, let’s check the growth of eggplant, ginger, and green pepper.

Eggplant, ginger, and green pepper

The eggplant has slowed down a bit in growth compared to before. However, since they are still flowering, it looks like we can enjoy the harvest for a while longer.

The leaves at the base of the ginger plant are turning yellow. I wonder if the ginger leaves turning yellow are because of the heat? I hope it’s not a disease.

The green pepper is steadily bearing fruits. Since the green pepper fruit and leaves are the same color, you might miss them if you don’t look closely.
