From the Delta Enduring Tarot, the Seven of Cast Irons (Pentacles); from the Southernisms Oracle, 'That field's been plowed:'
This young man has patiently amended the soil, planted the seeds, watered the sprouts, and carefully managed any pests; his reward is a bounty of ripe tomatoes. I don't know of any gardener - whether they grow flowers, fruits and vegetables, shrubs or trees - who managed to hit a home run the first time they ever tried to cultivate a plant. It requires a process of mistakes and learning as well as the blessing of good weather. 'That field's been plowed' is a saying that refers to over-thinking and analyzing. If we're so consumed with perfection, we'll miss the enjoyment of the harvest. If we're caught in a loop of trying to find a once-and-for-all solution to a problem, we'll never be satisfied and miss taking any action that might have helped. Move on.
