Sow Some Seeds

• Without a soggy seed packet

You don't have any seeds to plant down here. Tears for Fears might be capable of gardening with love alone, but you? Not so much.

• With a soggy seed packet but without a glob of green slime:

You carefully plant the packet of seeds and then wait a few days for them to grow. Then you wait a few more days. Then you wait a few more days, and come to the conclusion that they're not going to sprout. Looks like you're going to need some fertilizer if you want to do some real gardening.

• With a glob of green slime and a soggy seed packet

You carefully plant the packet of seeds, sprinkle it with gooey green algae, wait a few days, and then you reap what you sow. Sowed. Sew?
