seed sowing
Putting in ground
Seed sowing is the act of planting seeds in soil to grow crops or other plants.
The term covers both the deliberate scattering of seeds across prepared ground and the more precise placement of individual seeds in rows or holes.
Sowing can be done by hand or with mechanical equipment, depending on the scale of the operation.
Spring is the traditional time for seed sowing in temperate climates.
