"Fruits of the ground" include vegetables, legumes, peanuts, and the "fruit" excluded from the ha-aitz blessing above: melons, bananas, pineapples, some berries.
On all these, make the "ha-adamah" (הָאֲדָמָה) blessing:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ‑יָ אֱ‑לֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה:
Baruch atah A-donay, Elo-heinu Melech Ha’Olam borei pri ha-adamah.
Blessed are You, L-rd our G‑d, King of the universe who creates the fruit of the earth.
Listen to this blessing
After eating Ha'Adamah, say Borei Nefashot, the After-Blessing After Other Foods (click here for audio and text).
