I wonder if they're more common this year, I don't remember people asking about them quite so often in previous years. Something to do with the dry weather?

Pigeonseed I'm sure it is both more common and to do with the weather this year. More often than not they don't appear at all which is why they come as a bit of a surprise to gardening newcomers when they do!  Smiley

Some varieties produce them, some don't. British Queen, for instance, has sterile pollen, so it only produces them when it's cross-pollinated. This year most of the buds are falling off my spuds, presumably because of the drought. British Queen and Negresse have bloomed, but that's all.
