Labouring on infertile soil

Imagine you are a farmer, u work really hard in ure field, planting, sowing, ploughing the land everyday for some time. U have a picture of a flourishing harvest in your mind. You know that as long as you work hard enough, the seeds and seedlings will soon grow into beautiful crops that u can admire and bring u some form of profit. Maybe an intangible benefit, a feel good factor. The seedlings are growing well and ure hopes get higher. "My dear crops are gonna reach maturity soon!" Finally, after such a long time of farming, u feel that this might actually be a successful harvest..

In the midst of basking in ure own joy, the seller of the seeds pays u a visit. He informs you that the seeds are defective and he cant guarantee that they will reach maturity. U suddenly feel your heart sink. U feel lost and sick in e stomach. U think to yourself, "Why? Why wasn't i notified earlier? Why am i only notified now? After i've worked so hard in my field and havebeen given all these false hopes!". And then u start thinking,

Should i continue fertilising and watering my dear crops in good hope that they will grow up strong enough to be harvested? afterall the seller did say they still have a chance of flourishing!

Or should i give up on these uncertain seedlings because even if i continue with my efforts, my efforts will come to naught if these seeds are indeed defective and might never ever reach maturity. But i've already developed a strong attachment to these seedlings, after all, i've alrdy been nursing them for a considerable amount of time.

Or should i continue farming these seeds half heartedly while putting the other half of my efforts on a new batch of seeds? But this seems unfair since there's still a chance for the seedlings to mature and imagine how neglected an cheated on the seedlings would feel..

My dear readers, out of these 3 options, which would u choose and why? I dont care if u r a good friend or acquaintance or a total stranger reading this. The farmer needs help.. Please commet on my tagboard. Thank you. Feel free to share other solutions to this problem too.
