Thinking of replacing my watermelon plot with some peanuts.

My mom brought me a packet of large peanut seeds with plaster. I had never really paid that much attention to peanut plants, but they seem like an interesting plant.

Growing

Some good and some bad. Let's do the bad first...

I finally had hot enough weather and enough seedlings to plant my watermelons. I was able to germinate 4 out of 6 pollinator seeds and 2 out of 6 "regular" ones. Not as great as I would have hoped for, and I was very glad to have planted so many seeds. At the time I planted the 12 seeds I had a feeling I should, even though it may seem insane for the small patch of garden I had for watermelons. (: I planted them and watered with care and they did very well for the first 5 days getting taller, more leaves were coming.... then BAM! I went out to check on them on the 6th day and found this:
