Plant Care & Growing Tips

Cultivating Organic Heirloom Ukrainian Red Valencia Peanut Seeds is a straightforward and rewarding process. Peanuts thrive in warm climates and prefer full sun exposure for at least 6-8 hours daily. Choose a location in your garden that receives ample sunlight. The ideal soil for peanuts is loose, well-draining, and sandy loam with a pH between 5.9 and 6.5. Avoid heavy clay soils, as they can hinder peg penetration and pod development. Before planting, amend your soil with compost to improve fertility and drainage. Planting typically occurs after the last frost when soil temperatures consistently reach at least 65°F (18°C), usually from late spring to early summer.

Plant your grow your own peanuts seeds about 1-2 inches deep and 6 inches apart in rows that are 2-3 feet apart. Once the seedlings emerge and are a few inches tall, thin them to about 12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation. Peanuts require consistent moisture, especially during flowering and pod development. Water deeply and regularly, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering as the plants approach harvest to prevent rot. Fertilize sparingly; peanuts are legumes and fix their own nitrogen, so excessive nitrogen can lead to lush foliage at the expense of pod production. A balanced fertilizer or one higher in phosphorus and potassium can be beneficial if your soil is deficient. Keep the area around your peanut plants free of weeds, as weeds compete for nutrients and moisture. Hilling soil around the base of the plants as they grow can encourage more pegs to form, leading to a larger harvest of red peanut seeds.
