Your post has inspired me to look up groundnuts. Is it the same as peanuts? Or, are they from the same family?
It's sad that you need to invest so much energy and be strategic to deter thieves in your farming process.
I also found it fascinating where you said that the fallen leaves indicate that there are seed below to be harvested.
Locally we call it groundnuts but the official name is peanut.
There is hunger everywhere but lazy people prefer to steal rather than work and plant the food they eat.
The mature stage is when the leaves gets dried and fall off regardless of the amount of rainfall..
The leaves will remain ever green like the one here when the seeds are not yet ready for harvest.
And here is the groundnut/peanut we are talking about.

That irks me. In Jamaica where I'm from, there is a lot of looting, but more when there are natural disasters.
I trust that your efforts to keep the thieves out will be effective, because it's difficult to see others reap your hard work and steal from your livelihood.
It's the first time I'm seeing peanuts growing:)
Thanks for the additional information 🤗
Oh I guess that no part of the world is exempted with regards to thieves who steal different dimension.
I hope we stay safe and its better they steal our groundnuts than harm the farmers unlike we have these occurrences in other places.
Farmers get attacked before their crops get stolen.
Thanks for the comments.
I appreciate your time here.
Yes, indeed. It's a sad world, and better to watch the crop go that be at the mercy of thugs.
Have a great day:)
