Step1
Skip the seed store and buy raw peanuts from the grocery store. They have to be raw and not roasted.
Step2
Plow the ground deeply, at least seven inches or more.
Step3
plant peanuts after the last frost in very sandy soil. Make sure your soil drains well.

Step4
Sow two inches deep, with lots of compost and manure. You can even add a couple inches of mulch on top of the surface if you are concerned that the ground is too hard to grow peanuts or if you have a lot of weeds.
Step5
Space peanuts seven inches apart, making sure the kernels stay whole. If split, they won’t grow.
Step6
Water well when planting, but not again until the peanut plant sprouts. This should take about a week. When you begin watering them regularly do not overwater.
Step7
Keep the area free from weeds which can hinder peanut plant growth.
Step8
Allow 130 days for plants to mature.
Step9
Harvest in the fall by pulling the whole plant out. A spading fork is helpful. You’ll see a mature nut when you pull it out of the ground. The foliage will be yellow.
Step10
Allow peanuts to dry for two to four weeks.
Step11
Store in a cool, dry place until ready for roasting.
Step12
Enjoy the peanuts. You can grow more next year!
