The most benefit from starting your own seeds (if you have the appropriate
set up) is the choice of varities - specific for your own use.

I also do not have much luck in starting my own seeds now. I used the have
a light set up - bottom heating, extensive space for taking care of the
transplants - and did a lot of seed starting - not only veggies but also
successful with geraniums.
