The mystery plant identified.


I noticed a sturdy plant coming up in the rocks by the pond. I thought it might be corn by the leaves that came out first. Then it put up a short stalk and began to bloom. Clearly it was not corn.

I didn't know what it was. Now it is making seeds and ahhh! I recognize them! The little round seeds are ones I see in birdseed mixes all the time.
This is a Millet plant!
Who do you think planted it here?

Millet is delicious! You should harvest it and eat it.
