Several of our peanut plants had a lot of shoots(?) reaching down to the ground, but never made it because we didn't add extra soil around them. Thankfully the shoots near the base made peanuts, but the hanging shots are a lost opportunity for extra peanuts.
This year, I meant to add extra dirt, but wasn't sure when to do it. An online source says to do it when the plants get 6 inches tall. This is also a good reason to plant peanuts in rows instead of checkerboard.
