Growing peanuts from store-bought nuts can be a rewarding gardening project. Here’s how to do it:
#1 Choosing Peanuts:
- Opt for fresh, raw, uncooked peanuts in their shells.
- Avoid roasted or salted peanuts as they won’t germinate.
#2 Preparation and Planting:
- Peanuts require a long growing season (100-130 frost-free days).
- Start indoors 5-8 weeks before the last frost date for an early start, especially in Northern climates.
- Plant in well-draining, loose soil, adding sand and aged compost if needed.
- Sow seeds 1-2 inches deep and 24-36 inches apart in rows spaced at least 72 inches apart.
