The parable of the would-be sower

A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold
— Jesus, in Luke 8:5-8 ESV

A sower meant to sow his seed. But he never got around to it. So the condition of the soil didn't matter.
