Growing plants from seed is an addiction without a cure

They say that the first step to working through an addiction is admitting that you have a problem. So I’m fessing up — I am addicted to growing plants from seed.

I don’t even know how I got here. Not too long ago I wondered why anyone would bother growing plants from seed when you could just go out and buy them without having to do any of the hard work. And then somewhere along the way I thought I’d try to grow a few sweet peas, which need to be started inside for our short gardening season and are nearly impossible to find at garden centers.
