HISTORY: Originally from Brazil, peanuts were brought to France and Africa,and then later introduced into the U.S. during the 1700s. The first commercial growth of peanuts occurred near Wilmington, NC about 1800. CULTURE: Shell out the nuts and sow 2” deep and 10-12” apart in rows 30-36” apart. If planting in hills, plant 3 nuts per hill, 10-12” apart in hills 2-3’ apart. Loose, well-drained soil is important for good germination, anda soil ph of 5-6 will give the best results. Plant about the time of the last frost. Peanuts require 120-140 days of hot weather and ample rainfall to yield a good crop. When plants are 12” high, hill them up with loose soil as you would with potatoes, and mulch between the rows. HARVEST: Harvest in mid-to late October or after a light frost. Wash and sun-dry for 3 days and cure indoors for 2-3 weeks before storing. PACKET: peanuts are sold in the shell. See variety descriptions for packet weights. Cannot ship to CA or Canada.
