    Depends on what you’re growing.

    If what you’re doing is native to the area and fairly-robust and the conditions in the planting area are in line with what it wants in the wild, then yeah, probably pretty easy.

    But…say you’re trying to grow manzanita. That only naturally grows after a fire, so you may need to artificially fiddle with the seeds to do stuff to try to produce enough of the same conditions to get the seed to sprout (simulating fire, simulating winter, etc).

      Also depends on your goal. If you just want a plant, plant will come. If you want the prettiest, strongest plant in the neighborhood, you can nerd out about the conditions to an almost fractal-like level of detail.
