I hope I'm doing the right thing - not sure when you need to put spoiler, but I see it a lot.

I just purchased Virtual Villagers 3 last night. I have VV2, but I'm a newbie at VV3. I remember seeing something about a seed, and I thought I got one of them to plant it, but it seemed like it was taking forever. Then when I got the lift to work to retrieve the 2nd seed, and planted that, I realised I don't have the same xx hours anywhere else, so it seems I've lost my 1st seed. I've searched everywhere.

Is there anything I can do? I love my Villagers so don't want to start a new tribe. Thanks.
