Many home gardeners wish to plant a row or two of peanuts. Shell the peanuts, and plant about four to six seed per foot of row. Plant peanuts in April and May.

Spanish peanuts are the smallest seeded varieties. Runner types have intermediate-sized seeds, and Virginia types have the largest. Fertilize lightly with 1 to 2 pounds of 8-24-24 or similar fertilizer per 100 feet of row.
