The best name in peanuts for as long as many of us care to remember, Virginia Jumbo produces plenty of fat, well-packed pods of extra-large peanuts. Among the best quality for eating, they are a gourmet treat you can grow almost effortlessly! Sow the seeds 6 inches apart in deep, light, well-drained soil. Thin the young plants to 12 inches apart. When ready to harvest, dig up the entire plant and let it air-dry before picking off the pods. .Peanut seeds (kernels) grow into a green oval-leafed plant about 18 inches tall, which develop delicate flowers around the lower portion of the plant. The flowers pollinate themselves and then lose their petals as the fertilized ovary begins to enlarge. The budding ovary or "peg" grows down, away from the plant, forming a small stem which extends to the soil.
