Constructor's Note
Today is George Washington Carver day in the US! Born a slave, Mr. Carver became a preeminent scientist, and contributed to victory in WWII by reinvigorating Southern agriculture. I highlighted one of his more well-known model organisms in this puzzle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Carver

    For the record, botanically the peanut is neither a pea, nor technically a true nut. But I didn't want to do a 6X6 mini haha.

      Excellent theme! 7A was a good clue too. I remember learning about Carver a few years ago when a friend asked me to draw his portrait.

        Thank you! My last botany class was with Dr. Bonamo in the [cough] 1980's but she still terrifies me...I am still very careful about what I call a nut haha
