New to Gardening in Seasons

I had that happen before seasons. I'd get 2-4 seeds per pack and they'd be common, sometimes all the same. I am getting a few different seeds in the packs. I got green peppers.

When she opened them, there were three seeds per packet and they were all the same (and easy to find in world). Is this how it is supposed to be or might it just be because my Sim is only at a level 1 in gardening? I was so disappointed!

They've been pretty random and with the new gardening career I had gotten a packet of seeds as well when I got a promotion. Was a pack of seeds that grew in the fall. Got a pomegranate once though. Opened a fruit pack got apples, grapes, and banana out of the usual common seeds. Kinda rare to get some even in the newer packets but I definitely got the christmas rose out of a flower pack along with a crocus and a green pepper out of the seasonal packet. No green beans yet.

Gardening is a lot more enjoyable now compared to before where it just felt more like a chore than a hobby for your sims. Definitely have to splice plants if you want to get some rare uncommon and rare plants to be growing.

Starting Gardening & Skill Level Unlocks
The Four basic skills of Gardening are Plant, Water, Weed, and Harvest. All these are self-explanatory, but necessary to help your plants to grow. These are the skills you get at the beginning, and starting is a simple matter of buying seeds or harvesting plants from the wild. You may also read Gardening skill books to raise your level. As you gain levels in Gardening, you'll unlock new abilities:

Level 2 - Research Gardening at Computer (Web > Research Gardening). Do this to get Focused, which will help you gain more Gardening Experience.

Level 3 - Your Gardener may now Fertilize Plants. This will help them to Evolve faster.

Level 4 - Seasonal Fall and Spring plants seed packets unlock. Also Sims may now talk to plants. This will allow you to talk to Plants to fill your Sim's Social Need, while also granting Gardening Skill experience!

Level 5 - Seasonal Winter and Summer plants seed packets unlock. Take Cutting and Graft abilities unlock, which allow you to get otherwise unattainable plants.

Level 6 - The area of effect of weeding is increased to include nearby plants. Other Sims may Compliment your Garden.

Level 7 - Farmer and Uncommon seed packets available for purchase. Sims unlock the Tend Garden ability, allowing them to Water and Weed the Garden by clicking a single plant. This is a big bonus, as tending many plants and finding what ones need watered/weeded can be a chore. You still need to choose when to harvest and fertilize, however.

Level 8 - Super Sell ability unlocks, allowing you to sell from many plants at once. Sims get the ability to spend $50 to re-grow a Bonsai Tree in order to re-shape it.

Level 9 - More efficient gardening interactions - Sims water plants and weed faster.

Level 10 - Can purchase rare seed packets for $1,000 each. Nothing of note happens, aside from the ability to buy Farmer's Seed Packets from the Computer/Gardening Pot that contain a mixture of seed types. It's very random, but you may get plants for your collection that you don't yet have. Buying a number of them is wise.
