Peanuts do best when the weather and soil is warm. Prepare the soil as peanuts prefer well drained and rich soil. Till the soil thoroughly, then plant the seeds. Plants grow 1 - 2 ft tall.
Requires loose fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant. Work the soil to a depth of 1 to 1 ½ feet so the soil is loose. Use plenty of manure and compost for large roots.
Water well during the season.
Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro Liquid Fertilizer periodically.
Dig up a few peanuts to see if the peanuts are ready to harvest. If the hulls are white inside the peanuts are not mature. The peanuts will be ready to harvest when most of the hulls inside are dark. Dig or pull peanuts and dry the pods outdoors in full sun for 4 - 7 days before separating the pods from the plants.
