The important thing with peanuts is to plant them in a wider pot than you would expect, with nice soft soil surface, because after flowering they bend their flowered stems back down to the ground and bury the tips, and then form the beans under the soil (hence "groundnut"). They are grown in places with very hot and humid summers, and lots of light, so that is the conditions you need, maybe in your greenhouse, then, when it warms up.
