Yes, arthritis definitely a drag.
The reason I like WSing is NO care and tending. Just stick the containers outside and forget them until spring. Most years I never have to water them until they're in the ground.
Maybe I'd start more seeds inside if I had more lights, but I doubt it. I don't want all that tending to whiney seedlings. Outside is easier- Mother Nature does the cold stratification, watering, temp regulation. I just plant seeds.
I can't sow much this year because I have no space left to plant.
