Peanuts are actually fruits, and grow on plants that produce small, yellow flowers. The flowers are self-pollinating, which means they do not need bees or the wind to help them reproduce. Instructions: Plant the seed, with the brown skin still on it, 2.5-5cm deep in well-drained soil. Keep it moist and warm until the seed germinates (about a week). It takes about three months for peanuts to form. After digging up the mature plant, hang it up in a garage, for example, to let it dry out. Leave it for about a week, then roast and eat.
