Peanuts are quite unique in many respects. They peg the soil after flowing above ground. The peg shoots down into the soil and forms the peanut. They are nitrogen fixing like most legumes. There are small nodules their roots that harbor nitrogen producing organisms. A few people in my community garden have grown a few smaller plants. I prefer planting snow peas early to give my summer plants a nitrogen boost.
