Relieved when a seed is transplanted (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eased

'relieved' is the definition.
(easing is a kind of relieving)

'a seed is transplanted' is the wordplay.
'is transplanted' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'seed'='aseed'
'aseed' anagrammed gives 'EASED'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eased that I've seen before include "Oiled" , "Slackened off" , "Soothed - assuaged" , "Lessened, pain or discomfort, say" , "Made less stressful or difficult" .)
