I'd say the biggest problem is that you decided to try and advance your quest at the expense of someone else, using their kill and thereby preventing them from using it. But the problem that's frustrating you is that when you use someone else's kill you see no animation, get no credit for planting a seed, but you do lose a seed. So if you've done this, you have to abandon the quest yet again and start over, or you will not have enough seeds to finish the quest.

Always get a chuckle when someone falls face first into their own assumption

I too have been unable to plant seeds. Nobody else was around when I was doing my quest, so no "at the expense of someone else" thingy going on.

I also have tried most (if not all) the suggestions in this thread... thanks everyone, but I can not progress.

I have received feedback from tech-support after lodging a ticket and they confirmed that it is a known bug which they hope to fix in some future maintenance. The tech that contacted me expressed doubt that the techniques that had been suggested would actually fix the bug once it occurs.

So for me, I am just hanging out for a tech-support fix, or an update fix.
