a seed was planted

Frog was in his garden. Toad came walking by. "What a fine garden you have" said Frog.
"Yes," said Frog. "It is very nice, but it was hard work."
"I wish I had a garden," said Toad.
"Here are some seeds. Plant them in the ground and soon you will have a garden."
"How soon?" asked Toad.
"Soon," said Frog.
