Another close-up shows how seeds start forming almost immediately. 

These seeds mature and get dispersed early in the season. The new plants grow all year in a rosette form, gathering energy in their roots to be able to shoot up their stalk early the next spring (known as "bolting", which is a good term to describe what they do and how fast they grow).
