So, does anybody else think Crowley is a guerilla gardener?

Like, I forget precisely how long the book says he disappears for between threatening his plants and bringing back the Empty Pot Of Doom (and I’ve lent my copy to my mother so can’t check just now), but disposing of a plant really doesn’t take that long.

And I mean, fair enough if Neil Gaiman pops out of the woodwork and tells me I’m wrong, but I really like the idea of Crowley just casually planting his sub-par houseplants in technically-illegal places because that’s a totally demonic thing to do, Aziraphale – it’s against the law and everything but he also sort of secretly likes his plants a bit too much to want to actually murder them when he could totally just make London a bit more Eden-like by planting them in weird places.

Besides which, he gets the enjoyment of knowing he has successfully terrified his remaining plants by subterfuge. I feel like Crowley likes subterfuge (and also that he’s generally a bit crap at it, let’s be real here).
