resowed

Put seeds back

Resowed is the past tense of resow, meaning to sow again—planting seeds a second time after an initial sowing failed or produced poor results: After the late frost killed the seedlings, we resowed the entire field.

The word appears mainly in agricultural and gardening contexts.
