Why is Agriculture so Recent?

It seems like a trivial matter to conclude, from the casual observation of various seeds in various stages of development just from walking around, that seeds slowly turn into plants, and it should be possible to physically place a bunch of seeds in one central place and reap the bounty. Or at least the attempt to do so would have been made (and succeeded). Once you notice that acorns have a tendency to turn into tiny trees, wouldn't the whole idea of farming just naturally fall into place? I assume they would have stayed in one spot long enough to see, if not acorns turn into trees, then other fast-growing seeds like sunflower seeds turn into sunflowers. Why did it take so long for everything to click?
