Growing from seed is amazing! My mum has a capsicum plant (capsicum-like? it grows those little ones) that survived from last year and is fruiting. I couldn't believe it, at our place the frosts smash them.

Kids definitely enjoy it, and learning where food comes from is great. Plus you can teach them not to waste food because it took all that effort to grow, so we need to plan our meals and only make what we will eat, etc.

Sometimes when growing veggies I wonder how the commercial growers ever manage to get them so consistent (I try not to think too hard tough because the answer is probably some spray cocktail).
