Get yourself some good sized containers and around August/September -spring bulbs like daffodils tulips,hyacinths will start appearing in the stores
Take a trip to a garden centre,Homebase or B& Q they will have some plants on sale now -you might even pick up some bargains.
If you can get to car boot sale there are usually plant sellers
It depends on what conditions you can provide for raising plants from seed -it is the cheapest option-some are easier than others
Lavender like a sunny spot -grow it in a container -you can increase stock by taking cuttings
If you can get hold of some mint that will just romp away
July is not really the time to start a garden- in theory we should be lazing in ours- all the hard work is done in the springtime-by now it should be growing
Just keep asking -we all love a project
