The growing season for peanuts is from 130 to 160 days, which is why it is often considered a southern crop.But good news is, even northern regions can grow it . Just start by growing them indoor until the ground ground is at least 65 degrees.
Let's get started.
Step one
-Picks location for your peanuts,it must be an open field that can get 8 hours of direct sunlight
-The soil must be loose and rich and we'll drained.
-Growing in pot you must make sure it is atleast 18-20 inches across and18 inches deep for planting.
Step two
-Brake a 'peg' from the peanuts shell to expose the seeds and plant seeds atleast 2 inches into the soil.
-Water once a week and make sure you don't over water your peanuts.
Step 3
-When the produce yellow flowers within 30-40 days Mount your peanut plant with soil around the base of the plant so peanuts 'pegs' can push into the soil.The same way when you Mount your potatoes.
-Always keep the soil for 'pegs' as they develop.
Final and last stage
-Stop watering about two weeks before harvest your peanuts
-It will take about 130-160 days before harvest.
-When the flowers become yellow and falls, try to be careful when taking out the plant.
-Caefully , slowly hand pull the plant.
-Shake off excess soil and allow to with in two to three weeks depending on your region weather.
-Don't try to use them will they are still moist .
-Remove the peanuts pod from the plant and spread them in a single layer in a cool dry place for atleast a week or two.
