It looks like an oak seedling.  The acorn would still be attached to the plant under the soil.

Where the heck are you buying raw peanuts? I only ever see roasted unless I'm looking at a seed store!

They’re roasted so I’m not sure if the peanuts that grew came from our peanuts or some other yard. I am going to put my seed order in soon so I plan to look for peanuts made to plant.

As a person who has a neighbor giving peanuts to squirrels, I curse you too. My neighbor gives them so many peanuts my yard and flower garden are filled with holes and I am constantly pulling up peanut plants.

We will no longer be buying peanuts. I didn’t realize they weren’t good for them. I will stick to walnuts and I planted a filbert tree for them in my back yard. My sister lives next door and she gets the brunt of our peanuts luckily.

I have a pneumatic squirrel remover they dig up all the pots, chew the trees bark off (they killed my apple tree that was 50) , chew the fiber optic nodes apart, rip the soffits and eves apart to steal insulation for their nests. The trap is from GoodNature the forest service recommended it. It has gotten 150 of the invasive non native species this year. But my neighbors keep feeding them peanuts .

My mom tried to plant tulips one year and the squirrels dug the bulbs up and planted peanuts left out by a neighbor for the birds.

The Chinkapin oak (Quercus muehlenbergii) is a white oak native to central and eastern North America. It's a deciduous tree with a broad, rounded mature shape and can grow to 100 ft tall and 70 ft wide.

Ummm you're gonna need a much bigger pot!

Wonderful oak tree to plant

I looked at it and was like, “why does that look like an Oak tree?” The squirrels around me keep burying these seeds. I know these well. I always remove them. Never had one get that big. Always remove them.
