Being in south Arkansas you can get a really nice head start, you're even a couple of zones below us up in here in the north. Your stuff looks nice and healthy. I tried peanuts for the first time this year too. We bought some seed peanuts from some Amish folk nearby, but they're not doing the greatest. Yours are three times bigger!
Looks like you're having fun and you have a great space to do it in!
I tell ya, the greenhouse has been a blessing. we're either in a drought or we're flooded this time of year. To be able to completely control the weather and wind (and the animals!) has been so wonderful. I'm anxious to see what I can continue later into the fall and winter.
I was trying to think of something the husband would get out of my garden and finally thought peanuts. I went to 3 stores before I found some. Georgia something... ? Or maybe Tennessee. I can't remember. anyway, my peanuts took a while to come up. I planted 6 and 3 came up? I was having issues with that raised bed at the time, so that could have been why. Even still, they were slow to grow. They seem to have started doubling in size over the past couple weeks. probably about the time it got extra hot and stayed that way.
