I think its this weird weather. wet and mild. I have teasels doing the same thing. The sweet peas were germinating in the pods. I planted them and now they are 2 inch high.
It's actually gone in the green bin. I assumed that they wouldn't transplant at this time of the year and I still have half a packet of seeds left which I will start off in February. It was supposed to be black but was in fact deep purple.

I've heard of that happening but never seen it before. There are a lot of babies there.

Lovely photo! It can happen if the inside gets wet (eg because of heavy rain.) Found another image online:

Impressed, never seen that happen before. Are you going to do something with them?
Wow that looks fab
Never seen this before, very similar to leeks producing 'grass'

I suspect some will have dropped to the ground and will perform for you next year.

I can remember on the farm, in some very wet years,fields with the ears of wheat germinating on the stalk - a crop and a whole year's work ruined
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
How strange, I've never heard of this happening before.
