One of the most widely grown crops in the world, isn't it time you tried Peanuts in your own garden as well? Peanuts are such a fun novelty item to grow in your planting area. A summer blooming annual, Peanut Seeds need full sun and five solid months of warm weather to grow outdoors, but worry not, colder climates--they do remarkably well indoors in pots! Your peanuts are ready to harvest in late summer/early fall when the leaves begin to yellow. One of the unexpected joys of peanuts are their lovely yellow flowers - they are edible and are excellent in salads!
