Burying something alive on purpose and calling it hope, with dirt under your nails.
means The act of putting a seed, bulb, or young plant into soil so it can grow.
from From Old English 'plantian,' to set in the ground, borrowed from Latin 'plantare' — to drive in with the sole of the foot, since 'planta' meant the flat of the foot before it meant a sprout. So at its root, planting is literally stamping life into the earth with your heel.
