Want to try seeds

Hello All
As you probably know I am a total novice to gardening but I would like to try growing something from seed. now plz keep it really simple. I need something really easy to grow and is there anything I can start doing now? I dont have the luxury of a greenhouse just one of those little plastic lean-to things that wobble in the wind.
Thk you

cress is simple what sort of thing are you thinking of ?

 

Oi the only thing I have ever grown was the tops of carrots in saucers when I was a kid.
Something I could use I guess. Its more important that its an easy thing to grow. I only have pots in the garden so they would have to live in there if they survived. Flowers not veg. I am really clueless

 

I think Flowers MF as there is only me so veg would just go to waste. I dont have my 5 a day more like 5 a year. So are there any flowers for either this year or for next year? I was looking at some seed packs yesterday but I couldnt tell if they meant sow now or plant out now ..... greener than grass huh?

 

Nothing difficult about growing from seed, but some seeds are harder to grow than others.

It might help if you have some tips on how to grow from seed, I've added a page to my Blog describing the process in quite a lot of detail:
sowing seeds indoors

Seeds are half price in our local garden centre at the moment. I would wander down there and have a look at what takes your fancy. The back of the seed packet will tell you when you can sow, and how easy or difficult the seeds are.

I expect you will be a bit disappointed because many of them will want to be sown in the spring. But if they are half price you may want to buy them and put them away for next year (just make sure that the "Sow before" date is OK).
