Guess what this is?


I'll give you a closer look.


It's a peanut!

It must have been buried by one of the squirrels that frequents our feeder. I found it growing next to my new plot of spinach (it wasn't there a few days ago when I was planting). I pulled it out while I was weeding and then realized what it was. I kind of wish I'd left it instead of throwing it on the compost (except that I do want to have some spinach this year). I think if I find another I'll let it be and see how it does.
