> There's a bit of an art to starting from seed

It really depends. Some plants grow stupidly easy from seeds. A good example is tomatoes. You don't even need to buy seeds. Just go to a store that sells high quality produce, buy the best tomatoes you find (and taste them to make sure they're good), cut them open and and take their seeds. Boom, now you have several plants that grow amazing tomatoes.

This will work with some tomatoes, but many grown for agriculture are F1 hybrids which won't produce the same plant from its seeds. Even so, you're right about some plants being pretty easy. In cooler or temperate climates like mine, tomatoes aren't all that easy - they love heat and a decent amount of light. If you have the heat and light though, tomatoes can be like a weed.
