Name That Plant!

Is this a weed?

9 years ago

I'm clueless when it comes to gardening and can't seem to keep anything alive...this little plant is sprouting from the pot I had a dahlia in (no sign of life from the bulb), and I'm wondering if the resident squirrel planted something exciting or if it's just a weed that I should pull. Thanks for helping! :-)

Perhaps a peanut seedling?

My very first thought was peanut, and missingtheobvious also says peanut so I'm going to agree, PEANUT! :)

Here's a picture of my baby peanut plants...(they're bigger now)

Yes, thank you! It looks just like the plant in your picture. I did notice some peanut shells in the pot near the plant. I've never seen peanut plants before! :-)
