the challenges of starting your own plants from seed

So I haven't blogged in awhile and part of that is because I have busy outside instead of on the computer. But I also will admit I've struggled with some of my plantings. In essence, nearly every plant I started from seed did not work out with the exception of the wave petunias. However, even they are not as big as they are in the nursuries. Oh well, its all a learning process and I will definitely use what worked and didn't for next year.
