Anybody here ever grow peanuts? Apparently a peanut fell from my bird feeder and took root. I didn't know what the plant was, today there was another one. The deer and other wildlife haven't eaten it . It's a nice looking plant with little yellow flowers. I love peanuts and beer. Maybe I'll try growing some next year. Haven't had much luck lately with tomatoes and peppers.

Leaves don't look right for a peanut plant, but let it grow a see what you get.

Yea your are right the leaves don't look right. I wonder what it is, had to be from some type of seed in birdseed.

I'm thinking now that it might be kale, which is funny cause a tried growin kale this year and it had so many worms I pulled it up. What I grew must have been a different variety. The leaves were different.
