Once some people were discussing some tiny seeds that had spilled into the shipping box during a Round Robin, and I think someone decided to grow them out just to see what they were.

It gave me the idea of sprinkling a little ground black pepper into the box when it went past me. No one would be able to identify those "small, black, irregularly shaped seeds" and someone would eventually try to grow them out.

I wonder how many kinds of stratification they would have tried before giving up?

Fortunately, I recovered from that evil temptation before the box reached me.

I like the idea that the "bulb" was really a seed pod. I know that unripe radish seed pods are very tasty, but I never tried to grow (or eat) a Brussels Sprout.
