    I thought they were worms or something when I first saw them.
    Then I realised........babies.
    Then I started chopping my second one

        Did you grow them under a gooseberry bush?

            I've seen that with tomatoes grown on the sitting room windowsill, if left to get over ripe at the end of the year. I've not tried planting them.

              They were brought tomatoes that were definitely a little past their prime

                I've seen this a few times and have successfully grown tomato plants from extracting and planting the tiny seedlings.

                More rare with chillies, but I've seen the same thing with them and grown plants from them that way too. It was a thick walled variety that had kept enough moisture to set the seeds off when their seasonal biological clock told them they were ready to have a go at germination.

                Life will find a way

                  No! They were delivered via a Pelican!

                      Wow, how very unusual. Amazing what surprises nature has sometimes.

                        As soon as I saw that pic, I thought, "you've planted them, of course...."

                          Something very similar happened to me last year but with an Apple. I planted them on and they seem to be doing very well. Hopefully Something will come of these ones for you too.

                              A peculiar bird is the pelican,
                              Its beak can hold more than its bellican,
                              Where it propagates seeds
                              That grow like weeds,
                              Much better than a stork or toucan can.
