We grow our plants from seed, start them indoors, and move them outside to the shade to acclimate to the weather.
To transplant, dig a hole a bit larger than the biodegradable pot, tear the pot in a few places, and bury the the root ball (including the pot) in the hole. You may also choose to add a bit of compost or worm castings into the hole before adding the plant. Water in thoroughly.
Variety description from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange:
"Rich, sweet peanuts with red skins. 2-4 seeds/pod. Easy to grow without hilling, even in clay soils."
