Oh Tim, I could take a similar picture on the floor of my greenhouse where I have a platation of tomato seedlings all germinating daily, some are on their 2 set of true leaves!  Do I leave them or oik them out......  :-\

Yes - great - but how do you get it out of the concrete path where it fell - probably last year??

Nature knows more than we do?

I have leek seedlings - yes leeks - growing among pebbles in my garden where I accidentally dropped some pelleted seed.
My tortoises are enjoying them.

looks like romanesco which is even more galling as looks much better than my pampered lot on the lottie!

I found what I thought was flat leaf parsley growing in a barrel I planted up last year with cottagey perennials.  I tasted it and it wasn't parsley.  Had a rummage and found it's celeriac.  How did that get there? I didn't grow celeriac last year or any other year for that matter  ;D
