How is this for off the wall. The words might have been spoken, or more likely thought, by Galadriel when she gave Sam his box of seeds to refertilize the devastated Shire. Trying to think in a deep Elvish death-and-rebirth-way, she might have been offering them as a profound compensation for those lost to defeating evil. (Like Frodo and Gandalf, etc., who depart ME) If we were to think this way, it would be significant that Sam names his children the way that he does because they are his solace when Frodo leaves and they and Sam's gardening sybolize the rebirth/rebuilding of good.
