What does RESOW mean in Scrabble?
verb
To sow seed again in an area, usually because an earlier planting failed to grow.
Resow describes returning to a field, lawn, or bed to plant seed a second time, often after frost, drought, flooding, or poor germination ruined the first attempt. Farmers and gardeners resow patches that come up thin or bare rather than replanting an entire area. The word is closely tied to agriculture and gardening, where timing a second sowing correctly can still save a season's crop.
