HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Northern gardeners may want to start their peanut seeds indoors to get a head start on the season. Plant the peanut seeds for sale 1" deep in large peat pots and keep at a temperature of 70 degrees F until germination; transplant them as soon as the soil temperature reaches an average of 60-70 degrees F. In warmer climates, direct sow around the time of the last frost by planting the seeds 3" deep and 5" apart; later, thin plants to 10" apart. Peanuts need full sun and soil with good drainage.

Growing: When the plant reaches 12" tall, mound up the dirt around it and add mulch to conserve moisture and keep the soil soft. The tops of the faded flowers, also called pegs or peduncles, will bury themselves in the earth and begin to develop peanuts. Water the plants if the weather gets dry.

Harvesting: When the peanuts are ripe, the leaves will turn yellow and the outer skin of the shell will feel papery and dry. Remove the entire plant from the ground by lifting it with a garden fork, and let it dry in a well ventilated location for two or three days. When the leaves begin to crumble, remove the peanuts from the plant.

Seed Saving: Peanuts properly dried for 2-3 weeks can be used for seed, though they cannot be planted immediately because of a 1-3 month period of dormancy.

Not sure on the quality of the seeds, fast shipping, nice package. Some seeds were split into two pieces, some missing skin. Of what I planted, only a few have come up and most have rotted in the ground.??

Happy Homesteader.

Just recently ran across this company while looking for peanut seeds. Tired of receiving my orders crushed in the package. Figured I'd give them a try. Was very surprised when we received our package only to find one peanut had broken in half. Nice fast delivery very nice and colorful packaging. Awesome customer service. I will say shipping was a little more than I expected but I got it on time and was treated with respect. Great job everyone.

Poor Product

These are preshelled and most have split in half, also the paper around it is missing on those not split in half. Two full packets, some soaked, some planted and some in wet paper towel. None germinated, very disappointed.

Hello Michael, thanks for your feedback. Please email customer support at sales@everwilde.com and we will ship you new seeds and can also help with any planting advice.

18 days to receive

As this is reception day, its been 18 days to get them that is ordered on Feb/07/22 to reception in Quebec Canada on Feb /24 /22. There was a delay of 8 days at Los Angeles Airport otherwise would have been very fast. All four envelopes are in good shape. I hope they all germinate at 0.95 cents US each seed it would be a shame if they didn't.
For the moment I appreciate to be able to try and grow them starting mid April/22.
Thank you.

Disappointed

Ordered a quarter pound of seed. Planted as directed in neutral to alkaline silt loams and clays that was amended and only five sprouted into plants. North Texas area.

We are sorry that you had issues with your peanuts! These were fresh seeds, and had a good lab test, so not sure why they did not perform for you? Sometimes getting the soil moisture correct can be an issue, so hopefully better success next time!

Great Product

I've never grown peanuts before, I live in Kentucky, so after a little research I found the variety that I thought would be best for a first timer to try. I followed the instructions and the peanuts are doing great!! They took off quickly and are growing just as they should! I did have an issue with some of the peanuts rotting instead of sprouting but I found that was my fault because the planting medium held to much moisture around the peanuts and they rotted rather than sprouting!
I will order more next year!!!

Good protein source and so easy to grow

Our peanuts turn out great every time. They are hardy, but if you have no rain, give them water. My daughter grew these from a very young age, so easy. If steaks reach 20 dollars a pound like predicted, you will wish you planted more of these. They are so good boiled, or baked in the oven. You can't go wrong with peanuts.

Good protein source and so easy to grow

Our peanuts turn out well every time. I like them boiled, but baked in the oven is good too. If steaks go up to 20 dollars a pound like is predicted, it doesn't hurt to have quite a few of these planted. They make great gifts, and even a child old enough to water them when there is no rain can do it. I very rarely have to water them they are so hardy. So tasty!

DESCRIPTION

Order these peanut seeds and get scrumptious peanuts, guaranteed! Prolific Virginia Jumbo peanut seeds bear 50-60 shells per plant in a good growing environment. Each shell contains 1 or 2 jumbo size peanuts. These peanut seeds make an excellent growing project for children.
The story of Virginia peanuts starts in the mid 19th century in Sussex County, when the first commercial crop of peanuts was planted. Virginia now has a prosperous peanut industry with more than 92,000 acres devoted to the cultivation of Virginia Jumbo peanut seeds. Many peanuts sold in the shell or roasted and salted as a snack are this variety, since the Virginia Jumbo peanut seed is known for its large size and quality.

HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Northern gardeners may want to start their peanut seeds indoors to get a head start on the season. Plant the peanut seeds for sale 1" deep in large peat pots and keep at a temperature of 70 degrees F until germination; transplant them as soon as the soil temperature reaches an average of 60-70 degrees F. In warmer climates, direct sow around the time of the last frost by planting the seeds 3" deep and 5" apart; later, thin plants to 10" apart. Peanuts need full sun and soil with good drainage.
