sowings
Acts of planting
Sowings are acts of planting seeds in the ground, or the seeds themselves that have been planted.
The word appears in agricultural contexts and in figurative uses about consequences: The sowings of discord eventually yielded a bitter harvest.
What you sow determines what you reap, so sowings often carry implications about future outcomes.
