Your plant nemesis

We all have at least one. It's that plant that you try to grow and grow, but for some reason or another, it just dies or doesn't bloom or doesn't grow any vegetables.

What plant do you consider your nemesis?

Hi, I'm very new here and glad to have found this community!

My current adversary: bitter gourd. I made various attempts last year and none of the seeds would germinate. This year I tried out my last seeds in the package. Didn't work either. I ragequit and threw the seeds in a bucket outside.

After watching a very helpful youtube video I realized I had been doing things all wrong. I recovered seeds from bucket. But still, nothing. Either the seeds are too old... or they didn't survive the nights outside. I'm afraid I'll have to buy new seeds. D:
