Recently something, we assume it was a squirrel, got in the shed, attacked
the bird food peanuts, and buried them in anything which had compost in
it.
Today I found one we missed, and it's sprouted. I'd always assumed that
wouldn't happen. So, I've planted it up in a pot, and .... Now what?
Indoors/outdoors/greenhouse? any tips or advice welcome.


I grew a peanut in a pot indoors. It grew to about a foot high but
never flowered.


I didn't think they did flower, the nuts are grown under the soil, rather
like potatoes.

But potatoes flower!
