It's unfortunate, but that's just how it is with crops. On the plus side, once you finally do get a Stickreed, all you have to do is crossbreed that one with another crop to get more (highly recommended as you are not guaranteed to get a seed bag from a plant).

I would recommend adding a few more plots for crossbreeding also, as all you really have to do is break any weeds that pop up and put more crop sticks. Bonemeal/Fertilizer and Hydration Cells just speed up the process by adding to a hidden nutrition value.
