  On average, the germination rate (the percentage of seeds that sprout) can range from:

  • 50% to 80% for vegetable seeds
  • 0% to 90% for flower seeds 
  • 80% to 95% for grass seeds
  • 90% to 98% for tree seeds

  So since we are comparing seeds to Torah learning I'm wondering about this, even if someone devoted his entire life and completely submits himself to the will of Hashem and has true sincere Mesiras nefesh it' still isn't a guarantee and it still doesn't mean that he will ever get to enjoy and reap the benefits and enjoy the fruits of his labor since even if you take a perfect seed and put it in the Earth with the perfect conditions and water it and do everything right, it still doesn't guarantee that fruit will ever come out of it.

  Hashen CREATED fruit trees, people, animals, etc

  But, included in CREATION He instilled His creations to have the ability to PROCREATE, i.e. to continue the process of creation, generation after generation ad infinitum

  "Who gets the credit, the seed or the ground"?

  That's the same as asking "who gets the credit, the father or the mother?"
