Very nice... in the 70s one could not go thru the maze of Atlanta airport without encountering ( and succumbing to ) potted cotton seed and peanut seed, hoping they will grow in your northern apartment and cheer you up in winter !!!!
Most often failed, but I got them to bloom sometimes, even the peanuts... Nice, did I say it already??
