Each group of seeds were stored inside a stack of black small pieces of clothes. I took the seeds of different plants and sorted them out from the start.

"These are the seeds, distribute one stache for one farmer. Tell them once I give the signal, they will spread the seeds around. They can use whatever planting technique they know of, but make sure to plant all the amount.
