Sown #1 answer

The solved garden

The seeds: R1C6, R2C2, R3C7, R4C3, R5C5, R6C1, R7C4 (R = row, C = column, counting from the top left). Every row, column and plot holds one seed, and no two seeds touch, not even diagonally.

A easy garden: Tuesday's puzzle. The hardest idea it needed was a plot squeezed into one row or column.

How to crack it: the first moves

1. Every free square of the sunflower plot is in row 1, so the plot's seed must go there. Nothing else in row 1 can have one.
2. Every free square of the teal plot is in row 7, so the plot's seed must go there. Nothing else in row 7 can have one.
3. The pink plot still needs one more seed, and only one free square is left. Sow it.
4. Every free square of the sage plot is in column 2, so the plot's seed must go there. Nothing else in column 2 can have one.
5. Every free square of the sky plot is in column 3, so the plot's seed must go there. Nothing else in column 3 can have one.
6. Row 7 still needs one more seed, and only one free square is left. Sow it.

Plots are named by their colour in the picture (sage, sunflower, lavender, coral, sky, pink, teal). Every Sown garden can be solved this way, one deduction at a time, without guessing.
