Okay, here is my advice from experience.


I was very, very impoverished and yet I was simply infatuated by flowers of all kinds.


What I did was make the decision to put myself up a greenhouse. Greenhouses do not have to be from kits or expensive like you see in advertising. What you do is collect windows and all the stuff you will need from salvage yards or places where there is going to be remodeling or demolition, with the help of a carpenter you find at a construction site who needs a side job. He can easily build you a little glass box. The most you will ever need is about an 8x12 room, have him put in some spacious shelving and make sure you have access to water, and you're in business.. All I ever had was a space heater and a rotating fan, and I gardened in my greenhouse starting in midFebruary. I grew so much stuff I had to start a nursery to get rid of it all. The stuff just kept growing so that I had many sets of starts that cranked out of that little room in the course of one springtime.


But as for you, find yourself a nice seed house that offers a quality product at a reasonable price. They are out there. Stay away from the big fancy expensive guys. Start with stuff you can't really go wrong with--annuals are a safe bet. But continually keep pushing your limits. You never know what is going to be possible. By the end of my glorious career, I was growing Meconopsis species like marigolds. Hey, it's all in what you're willing to try.


This is the cheapest way I know of to amass the kind of gorgeous displays that we all wish we could have. I had gardens you can only imagine-every year--for the price of the seed and my soil mix and a pack of pots. The heat was really only on for about a month. I kept the seedlings sort of "on the run" and heat'challenged--eh, it was good for 'em.


Best of luck! It's way, way more fun this way, too. there is nothing to compare with working in a quiet greenhouse all day in February while the snow or the rain surrounds you.

This is very easy to do. Join a local plant Share group. I'm part of a national one, thats based, in small communities all over the country, called community plant share, all the plants offered are free of charge. The most you will have to do is post your desires, needs and wants and then go pick them up, is someone responds.If there isn't one in your local community, consider stating one, by contacting community plant share.





However if that is not your cup of tea, then check out Lowes home and garden center in the mornings or late at night, they normally have racks full of plants they mark down to .25 or half off , each Lowe's location is different, depending on management.. Right now is a perfect time to go experiment , with different plants and gets lots for your money.





if i were you i would stay away from seeds, this time of year, they needs lots of water and care to spout, and unless your willing to stay on top of them... then leave them bee.





If you post a little more info such as, what zone your in, if you have full sun or shade, then I'm certain everyone can give more advice. if you don't know your zone, than fill in with your city and state. Knowing this info, will help save you a great deal of money , because, then you can be advised of what will grow best in your climate conditions.





I know I wasn't much help, but i love gardening and love to see others take it on as well. With that said i do wish you the very best in your personal gardening experience.
Reply:Pansies and marigolds are super cheap. Go to a greenhouse and check out prices, you'd be surprised.
Reply:some green house plants are inexpensive, take a look you'll find plenty





nothing beats the low cost of seeds.








hard to give you an estimate with out knowing how big your area is.





a small 4x6 ft bed would need about $20 of plant flats or $5 of seeds (this same area of garden bed could easily cost $200 depending on what plants and other add-ons you choose)
