This never gets old, planting stuff in clear cups

With a little help from a clear plastic cup and later a 10” clear pot I’ll be watching this little peanut grow from seed and hopefully set some seeds.

There’s already some neat stuff going on. The roots are growing almost visibly, and I should start seeing root hairs today or tomorrow.

The way peanuts grow is neat. After pollination the old flower stalk is pushed down into the soil, called pegging, where then nut will grow in somewhat safety. I’m looking forward to this.
