Now, let's go easy on him. Maybe he is just a kid. I was on another forum and a brand new member who turned out to be only 12 years old was heartbroken by the poor reception.
To another point, I never find it worthwhile to grow just one seed. So much can happen - low germination, damping off, etc. Always best to buy a dozen. So save up and try again when you have a few more dollars. Or like folks suggested, buy fruit!
Cheers,
