Going to try to buy my starts this year, instead of seed-starting. I don't know if the failures of the last two years were because my self-grown plants weren't ready, because the weather was reliably wacky, or both.

Yeah, it's more expensive to buy young plants to set out, but if I have to start seeds and then buy half the amount anyway, it's not less expensive to do it myself.

Gotta say, climate chaos isn't making #desertGardening any easier.
