Peanuts thrive in well-drained, loose sandy soil with full sun and consistent moisture during flowering and pod development. Plant in warm soil after the last frost and mound soil around the base as the pegs develop underground. They are best grown as an annual crop in temperate gardens and harvested once the foliage begins to yellow.
