Materials:

* Raw peanuts (may be purchased in the produce section of most grocery stores, at health
food stores OR by mail order - see SHOP/Direct Mail for more information)
* Flower pot or container with drainage hole (6-8 inches in diameter)
* Sandy or sandy loamy soil

Method:

* Soak peanuts in water overnight
* Fill pot with soil to one inch below rim
* Plant three peanuts 1 to 1.5 inches deep and cover firmly with soil but do not pack
* Keep soil moist (not wet). Maintain a temperature of 65 degrees F or above
(80 degrees F is ideal)

Peanuts should sprout within five to eight days. Continue to keep plant in a warm location exposed to direct sunlight as much as possible. Blooms will likely appear approximately 45 days after the peanut plant has emerged. (Production of peanuts on potted plant is unlikely, but may occur if kept growing for a minimum of three months).
