When the seed germinates they look EXACTLY like a grass
shoot. I'm intrigued now as to what they really are.

Judith,
thats my understanding from my book; the seedlings are
supposed to look like chives - i.e thin round shoots just
like newly-sprouted grass.

I think I will need to let them grow out and see what I
get. The more I look at them the more they look like
leaks to me!
