The phrase "seeds of (something)" describes the beginning of a new situation that is growing quickly: "Education plants the seeds of success in young children." The phrase "to go to seed" means for a plant to start producing flowers and seeds: "Pick that cilantro soon, before it goes to seed." That same phrase can also mean that something is getting old and falling apart: "The old homes in this neighborhood with no one living in them are going to seed."
