The only real limiting factor is getting far enough to make Treefyd Seeds (witchery) and then make a greatwood sapling. Once you've done that it's just a little research and you should be there.
If you mean harvesting crops, Thaumcraft Golems w/Harvest Cores work wonderfully. If you mean actually producing/collecting seeds... I haven't tried that yet.
So... just found an interesting bug on my server. When one person opens their Traveller's Gear inventory page, it opens that page for every other person on the server. So we can effectively force people to open their inventories... It's odd.
except sometimes it only opens some people's...
There's nothing you can do now, for that death... I think there might be some options in witchery/some mod that will help you locate a death point, and there's also minimap mods which will normally make a waypoint at your last death.
Or you could go
Ooo I forgot the Euclidaisy. I went and researched all those flowers because they were there, decided whisperweed was too warpy, and moved on.
It might be possible to make one with Forbidden Magic/wrath cage. Not sure about that. I also hear that Pech can drop mana beans when killed... So make a magical forest biome and hope some spawn?

That is indeed what I did. I'd never seen anything like it before, though, so it took a bit ;)
In other news, I am tremendously amused by the idea of an auto-harvested mandrake farm, complete with warrior golems to murder the noxious little beasts.
Bad RNG, mostly. Silverwood trees have notoriously low droprates. That said, I'm not familiar with "shearing for saplings". Look into using the Thaumium Grafter, if you can make one ;)
