Planting

From Early Spring TO Mid Spring

Peanuts require a long growing season Plant them in early to mid Spring when the soil has warmed up. Take the seeds out of their shells and remove the skins, and plant about 4 cms. deep, 8 cms. apart, and the rows 1 m. apart

Propagating by rhizomes

From Late Autumn TO Early Winter

The seed-set rate is not good, and so this plant is usually propagated by rhizomes. Plant the rhizomes when they are dormant in rich, moist, well-draining ground in a sunny position, 50 cms. apart.
