Ever-popular peanuts are actually not nuts at all, but the underground seeds of a tropical legume plant related to peas and beans. And peanuts have a truly unique growing habit. While the yellow flowers bloom above ground in traditional fashion, the fruit and their seeds develop at the end of live shoots called “pegs,” which grow down into the ground. The peanut clusters are the fruit that forms at the ends of these pegs. Peanuts have a long growing season and are most often grown in warmer climates, but you can try your hand at growing them indoors. These annuals are normally planted from seeds (shelled peanuts) in the spring after the last frost and harvested in the early fall. They require as much as 150 days to produce edible peanuts, but there are early maturing varieties that require less than 100 frost-free days.
