Seedlings Outdoors need help

So, this is my first legitimate attempt at growing. For ease, I decided on outdoors.

But i have (what i think) may be a potential problem. It's kind of unique, i believe

I have 3 seedlings, appr. 3-4 weeks old. They're planted into the ground. For the most part they look pretty good, much much better than i expected. Here's the problem....

2 of the 3 are growing strange. They come out of the ground practically sideways, and grow parallel to the ground for about 2-3 inches, then curve upwards and grow normally. Think of it like the same effect of super cropping, except it comes out of the ground like that.

I don't think it's a result of too little sunlight, like stretching. After they curve upwards, they grow normally. The leaves are nice and healthy, and there is no distance in between the leaves.

Now, i thought at first that it could be a sign of the weather and environment. We've had substantial rainfall here, and some pretty good winds. I thought possibly they were bent over like that and reacted naturally. But the 3rd plant grows straight, textbook. No bend. Vertically speaking, they're all the same height. I assume that if the environment is what is affecting them, then all three should show signs, since they're roughly a foot or so apart from each other in a triangle sort of pattern

My concern is that the when they're bigger, this weird bending at the base won't support any weight.

Suggestions and solutions are GREATLY appreciated.
