A little while ago, whilst refilling the bird feeders, I chucked a
handful of bird seed onto the miniscule patch of earth that is my
flower bed, just to see what would happen. And now I have a sunflower.

Isn't life grand!

Chose the right bird seed and you might have got a cannabis plant.

Call me weird(1), but I'd rather have the sunflower. If ParcelFarce
ever deliver the 24 cans of Kirin they've had for the last NINE
FUCKING DAYS, I can sit outside & get mellow whilst drinking in the
beauty.

(1) Oh, gwan.

One summer, some years back, there used to be a solitary sunflower
growing in about the narrowest most ballasty, least soil coated bit of
central reservation on the M3 near Winchester, used to drive past it
everyday watching it grow, then suddenly, one day, it was gone.

Keep meaning to empty a bag of sunflower seed out the car window when I
drive down that way, but always forget.

One of the fuckers turned up in one of our hanging baskets. Damn sure we
didn't plant it there.
