It took me three years of starting seeds to get ONE Pacific Giant Delphinium big enough to withstand the Slug Army. That was gorgeous for three years, getting bigger and flowerier every year.
Then it didn't come back at all. But that's one of the few phytocides I DON'T blame myself for. I hear they are "short-lived perennials".
In my second year of starting form seed, I was pretty disappointed that I wasn't better at it. Then someone online explained that if I WASN'T killing any plants, then I just wasn't TRYING hard enough!
Our reach SHOULD exceed our grasp, or how will we learn?
