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.

@snarkysteff The plant that produced the seeds which I'm starting to get my next batch of shishito peppers is a nursery start.

Planting seedlings is the easiest way to get enough seeds to plant next year if you're a novice gardener.

The two practices aren't opposed to each other, at all, and anyone making them out thus is either easily led or just wants to keep people out of gardening.

@snarkysteff of interest is that I think there are specific seeds that are easier and more difficult for novices. Legumes and maize, for instance, are much easier to get out of soil than capsicum or solanum spp. or allium spp. from seed. May the gods and angels help the novice gardener whose headline gardening project is onions from seed.
