Also, get a pound bag of several kinds of dry beans. A bag of the mixed soup beans is good too but you’ll have to separate them.
Take 10-15 of the beans, put them on a damp paper towel in a small ziploc bag and put them somewhere ‘bright’ but not in direct sun. If they sprout you’ll know that bag can be used for garden seed. MOST beans you buy in the store are bush beans (harvest is easier for those). Ditto chickpeas, lentils, limas, etc.
I’ve used this as a cheap source of bean seeds for years.
YMMV.
Bean sprouts are good themselves!
Tasty fresh greens in a week.
Don’t forget a bag of osmocote or some other fertilizer. Most suburban soils are dodgy at best.
Ditto soap insecticidal spray (or spray of your choice).
And garden lime if your soil is acidic.
