Peanut Plant (Arachis hypogaea) - a present from my Dad.

That's funny and unique. I like it.

It is fun, isn't it, Tasteyg? For growing instructions, I found a marvellous website - aboutpeanuts.com, on Virginia/Carolina peanuts. It has a marvellous history section and kids' section.

thats brilliant, the planter its in is so cool

That's looking good.
Well done, Dad. :o)

it's brilliant!

That is super cute!! It is a nice looking planter as well.

will it have peanuts???

thanks, folks, we love this!

Sandra, I'll transplant it several times, then uproot it to check (but doubt it in our climate).

it will be nice in the chocolate garden even without the new nuts

What a great 'topic', ha! You're not 'nutty' about gardening at all really? You'll have to 'squirrel' away some seeds to plant in the pot at a later date when it outgrows this pot, not enough room in there for a 'brazilian' rain forest or a twisted 'hazel' though! I love taking a 'pecan' at your pics, there's always something mouth-wateringly chocolate about them. Yes, you've guessed it....I'm a total 'nutcase'!

I've never seen a peanut
grown in a nutty pot
and for a squirrel I suppose
They'd like it quite a lot.
Be careful where you put it
or you may shed a tear
because the nutty planting
will end up gone I fear.
All the local squirrels
will eye it up each day
so careful where you put it
whilst it is on display.
They'll raid an open window
they'll gatecrash through the door
to take your nutty little pot
back to their nesting floor.

Thanks, folks!

Greenfingers, if your'e "nutty", then what does that make me, lol?

Lindak, many, many thanks for composing a poem especially for our wee peanut plant, we love it!

That a lovely plant and container, it will be interesting watching it grow.

I love that pot!!! interesting to grow things we don't see here, wonder if you will get any peanuts?!!

I love the pot. Never seen one like it before. Excellent!

love it David! and it'nt it great that it has a connection to your new theme without even relising

very preety indeed

I put it in my favourites pix

Glad you like this, too, Ualda. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the plant has now outgrown its peanut pot, and has been transplanted into a larger container.
