Growing : Peanuts can be started as plants indoors or direct seeded after all danger of frost has passed.
Plant Peanut Seeds 1-2 inches deep and 6-12 inches apart. Be patient as they are slow to germinate. Once plants emerge, keep well-weeded and avoid disturbing the fruiting tendrils that will grow into peanuts. 

Harvest : After harvesting, the plants should be placed on benches and the peanuts should be easily cleaned by spraying them with water. Allow the plants to dry under the sun for a few hours before bringing them into a shed for a week. Once fully dry, the peanuts can be easily extracted. Keep the peanuts indoors for an additional 4-6 weeks for further drying before storing them. For consumption or sowing purposes, it is best to store the peanuts in their shells.
