What is the best month to plant spring peanuts?

When to plant spring peanuts

Spring peanuts are usually sown in mid-April. April 10th to 15th is the best time for sowing, when the temperature is most suitable. Peanuts are usually planted by sowing. If the time is too early, the temperature is too low, which will affect the germination rate of the seeds.

Planting time in the north and south: In the south, planting is mostly done in mid-April. The temperature in the northeast is too low, so the approximate sowing time is from late April to May.

Greenhouse planting time: Winter-warm greenhouses can be sown in mid-to-late February, so that they can be harvested around July.
