The parable of the man who sowèd his seedlings on sandy ground

In late spring, he did buy half a dozen cherry tomato seedlings.
Five of these he sowed in a carefully prepared section of ye garden -- it was once a pond stocked with fish, but he figured that keeping fish is about as stupid as you can get and filled it in with good soil and manure.
Ye sixth he delivered unto a pile of crap sandy soil.
Guess which of these produced actual fruit?
And, yea, verily in abundance?

Ye evidence from yesterday's harvest:


Moral: sow thy seed wherever it taketh thy fancy, and sans elaborate planning.
Thy yields may pleasantly surprise thee.
