Overview

This class provides the seed part of the Gardener,Garden,Seed natural design patern

In nature, seed is usually small, and so is this class. No atributes/variables of itself, its only a kind of localized getter/setter class for the global $seed variable. Every garden row assess one fork-localized $seed variable, and you get access to it from a seed instance passed to every Abundance.grow iteration.
