How to Grow Peanuts in the Ground From Store-Bought Nuts
- Preparation of peanuts: Soak raw peanuts in water for 8 to 12 hours.
- Soil: Use well-draining soil in large pots with drainage holes.
- Planting: Plant the pre-soaked peanuts 1 to 2 inches deep, 6 to 8 inches apart.
- Sunlight: Place the pots in a sunny location, receiving 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day.
- Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy, by watering regularly.
- Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer occasionally.
- Care: Watch for yellow flowers that turn into pods, which will develop into peanuts.
- Harvest: Dig up the plants when the leaves turn yellow. Let the peanuts dry for 1 to 2 weeks.
- Storage: Remove the peanuts from the pods and store them in a cool, dry place. Enjoy your harvest!
