You aren’t kidding. I tried starting my own seeds last year...Stuck them in some dirt, watered them, and said “grow!” They tried but gave up the ghost in no time.

After watching youtubers and lots of reading up, I’m amazed how different my seedlings are this year. They’re actually starting to grow their true leaves.

I can’t EVEN imagine trying to learn all this and hope for success after any collapse.

I wanted 18 tomato plants this year. Roma. I always grow roma. I save the seed. So I planted 18.

2 weeks later, I planted 18 more.

2 weeks later, I planted 18 more.

They came up. 2 weeks difference in growth, of course, and my sun-shelf in the kitchen was full of baby tomato plants.

Then I pulled a bonehead and killed Roma(1). Stone cold dead.

Roma(2) wound up in the big garden. I gave most of Roma(3) away to a kid that was starting a garden, but put some of them in a bad spot in the front yard. If they make it, they make it.

I start 3 sets because I just might need them.

Rinse and repeat with everything else I start inside.
