While eating peanuts on a cold winter evening might have thought where these tasty nuts grown? Whether we need large agricultural farms or land for planting them or either there is any option to grow them at home? Today we will tell you about growing peanuts at home in pots.
Firstly, purchase peanuts from nearby shop or vendour and scrap their shells.
