"I wouldn't send a beginning gardener to Wal Mart. The other stores
and garden centers will have the basics. The beginning gardener
should have the best quality seeds available. Otherwise they will
become very discouraged with lack of germination and not continue.
They won't know that it is not their fault."

on to college. When it was grass roots locals provided know how, tools
and plant life. Stuff that grew about was sold about.
