If YOU want to buy ESTABLISHED PLANTS so you have a plug-&-play garden with less of a learning curve, then go you!
You buy that shit, man! Plant those plants!
Insta-food-garden? Fuck, yeah!
Don't you let ANYONE shame you for taking shortcuts that get you planting & growing your food. However you get that hobby started, let it empower you!
These "plant seeds, not seedlings" people are HARMING the grow-your-own-food culture.
Whatever gets you gardening is a beautiful thing. Just grow it.
@TheJen Some goof on Bluesky. They got muted. They MEAN well, but they are inadvertently shitting on people for using seedlings at all by constantly saying it's foolish to pay $4 for 6 plants when you can get 80 seeds.
Well, sure, but I have a 5x15 balcony and time is of the essence, and I'm not growing seeds in a 600 square-foot apartment with shitty winter light, thanks!
Really? No shit, Sherlock. Thanks for pointing that out, You can do math.😉
Why buy bread if you can make it yourself? Why buy grains if you can grow them yourself? Why buy salt, if you can walk to the sea and pick it up for free?
Etc etc.
Whatever dude.
Happy for you, @snarkysteff, that you are growing your own food, even if it doesn't feed your family.
