Sown #6 answer

The solved garden

The seeds: R1C5, R1C7, R2C3, R2C10, R3C5, R3C7, R4C2, R4C9, R5C4, R5C6, R6C2, R6C9, R7C4, R7C6, R8C1, R8C8, R9C3, R9C10, R10C1, R10C8 (R = row, C = column, counting from the top left). Every row, column and plot holds two seeds, and no two seeds touch, not even diagonally.

A twin garden: Sunday's puzzle. The hardest idea it needed was a square whose seed would leave a row, column or plot with no room.

How to crack it: the first moves

1. Every free square of the pink plot is in column 9, so the plot's seeds must go there. Nothing else in column 9 can have one.
2. A seed in the square in row 1, column 4 would leave the sunflower plot without enough room. So it stays empty.
3. A seed in the square in row 1, column 6 would leave the sunflower plot without enough room. So it stays empty.
4. A seed in the square in row 1, column 8 would leave the sunflower plot without enough room. So it stays empty.
5. A seed in the square in row 2, column 4 would leave the sunflower plot without enough room. So it stays empty.
6. A seed in the square in row 2, column 6 would leave the sunflower plot without enough room. So it stays empty.

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