Frost is a deep poet. "Putting in the seed" has definatley got a sexual
agenda, the title alone conveys this. "if i leave off burrying the white
soft petals" seems to be Frost describing love making outside and the sheer
weight burries the soft white petals. This may be related to Frost's
mistress. Definatley a light hearted poem which uses love making as a
metaphor to conve his love for nature. Good luck in you exams everyoneXXX

Definately sexual undertones here...
Interesting that your teacher says all Frosts poems are about sex, ours
says they are all about DEATH.....
Stopping by woods...not merely a cheery little poem about snow, but
apparently Frost contemplating suicide. Cheery, wasn't he?

Just wanna say thanks for all the help, I really cant get the "hidden
meanings" on my own and you guys have shown me a completely different side
to this poem (I thought Oven Bird was all about de-forestation!)...

I am studying this poem for my A-Levels, and I believe that the poem
consists of ideas of the growth of a baby. Planting the seed being
conception, and the growth of the baby to that of 'early birth' and 'arched
body', showing the extent of the meaning throughout the poem, leading to
the belief of the seedling being that of a baby. I find this poem very
interesting, evaluating the concepts of Frost's poems, into that of reality
can be some what of challenge, but the ways he uses metaphors to construct
ideas such as birth, and relating his views and concepts into other poems.
In relation of ' the Apple Tree', to that of 'After Apple-Picking'. Also
unlike 'The Oven Bird', 'Putting in the Seed' is a happy, contented sonnet,
and relate to the joy of birth and creation which is a common nature in
Frost's poetry.

I really feel that this poem is an extended metaphor for a block of wood.
The poem and the block of wood are very similar. Both could be made into
something rather beautiful and nice, but just like a drunk carpenter, Frost
just couldn't be bothered to add something special to this poem. Just a
bunch of lines that happen to rhyme - like a wood block just happens to be
an effective doorstop.
Oh and you could also say that it's a continuation of 'After Apple
Picking', which is a rather more special work from Frost's collections.

I am also studying this for my A Levels I think this particular poem is
ambiguous with many different meanings the main the growth of a plant or a
baby!! "Seedling" confirms it has something to do with plants and "arched
body" suggests the figure is of a baby lying in a womans stomach
