How do I sow peanuts under cover?
To sow peanuts under cover, it's best to do so in spring, when temperatures start to warm up. Choose a deep container with holes in the bottom to allow good drainage. Fill it with light, well-draining potting soil, leaving a space of around 5 cm at the top of the container.
Sow the peanut seeds 3 to 5 cm deep, spacing them about 10 cm apart. Water lightly to moisten the soil, but take care not to soak it. Place the container in a warm, sunny spot, and keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Protect young plants from late frosts by bringing them inside at night under cover if necessary. When the plants have reached a height of around ten centimetres, you can transplant them into the ground, spacing them about 30 cm apart.
