Add Earth
Get it all the way to the toes. It can be nice to have a plant at the point of the shoe.
Insert Cuttings.
Place cuttings in the holes so they're in contact with the earth. Think about how big they'll get in a few months and beyond.
Have fun with it. Some might not make it and you can add others later.
