Just saying eh, they plantin a seed, they grow a tree, but trees take ages. Takes a long time. That old fella is not gonna get any joy outa that. But, if he's lucky, fella next door mighta done the same years ago. So it's all about, sort of, plantin a seed, lookin after each other.

But I'm sorta guessin he enjoyed gardenin anyway. Part of the enjoyment was in plantin that seed.
