Just a little tip and I don't know if it happens all over the world..?

But here in Britain if you go to a garden centre from late August onwards you can get very good deals on packets of seeds.

20 pence instead of £2.00! buy some cheap wildflower seeds and scatter them in the springtime of 2012 or just save money for next years food.

Sounds good but you get a lesster 60/40 chance of them sprouting so double up

Then save your self some more money and gather the seeds off the plants and use them next year for a 95% chance of sprout.
