It's an indoor project. Peanuts are cultivated in places with hot humid summers, or hot humid all the time, like Georgia (USA) where Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer, West Africa, Indonesia, etc. The botanical evidence is that they are originally from northern Argentina, and it is a bit of a mystery how they apparently got to Africa before Europeans brought other South American crops there.
