I didn't realize you could buy plants from them as well as seeds. But it is expensive. I don't have luck starting seeds inside.

I also started with zero seeds and zero knowledge. I can't believe the number of seeds I have now. And all the different varieties. And learning about each one is fantastic. Not to mention growing them. Since I'm still waiting to find out where I'll be come spring I can't really make any plans so I probably won't have much of a veggie or annual garden this year even if I do end up with a yard. But I still keep swapping seeds and hoping for the best.
