Growing peanuts and okra in soil cultivation. (Cultivating peanuts and okra from seeds.) How long do peanuts take to grow? If you plant peanuts around this time (early June), the harvest time will be around late October. The seeding time for peanuts this year is a bit late, but it’s okay to do it a little earlier. (Peanut seeds are typically sown around mid-May.)

How to sow peanut seeds (Grow peanuts from seed)
For planting peanut seeds, we make 2 holes in a plot of about 60cm x 60cm (2 feet x 2 feet). You need about 30cm (1 foot) of plant peanuts spacing. (We use a mulch cutter to make holes for seeding.)
Sow 2 peanut seeds in each hole. The planting depth is approximately 2cm (0.8 in.). Press peanut seeds in to a depth of 2cm (0.8 in.) with your finger.
Cover the peanut seeds with soil, press down with your hand. Firmly pressing ensures that peanut seeds and soil adhere closely, allowing water to spread evenly, promoting uniform germination.
Peanut seeds are a favorite treat for birds. After sowing the peanut seeds, we cover them with non-woven fabric to prevent birds from eating them. (Use U-shaped garden pins to secure it.)
How to sow okra seeds (Grow okra from seed)
After sowing peanut seeds, the next step is sowing okra seeds. Plant okra seeds towards the edge of a plot, about 60cm x 60cm (2 ft x 2 ft). (Any leftover space will be used for cucumber cultivation.)
Similar to peanuts, make 2 holes in a plot.
Sow 5 okra seeds in each hole. The planting depth is approximately 2cm (0.8 in.). Press okra seeds in to a depth of 2cm (0.8 in.) with your finger.
Cover the okra seeds with soil, press down with your hand.
