Drifts of colours!

I have visions of drifts of colours, wild flower fields, bushels of tomatoes and much more but.....
I'm wondering,
how do I start the new garden?

A mixed garden, between wild flowering and planted olive trees.
Maybe I need to make a planting scheme what would be like a garden recipe. You need the correct balance of ingredients — trees, shrubs, perennials and ground cover — to make it work.
I would like to make borders as wide as I can.

I Started sowing seeds indoors one month ago. Our bedroom seems to be a greenhouse now. I love to sow because it's a big surprise all summer long seeing growing and blooming from a little teeny seed a beautiful flower. It allows you to grow plant varieties in your garden that are special and unusual. It's easy, so it takes just a little bit of your patient.
My method is the most easy and economical one. I sow seeds into reusable or recycled containers. These containers have drainage, and are able to be moved easily. I make sure the growing medium is moist, and place the seeds at the depth recommended by the packet, then I place a plastic dome on. After a while you will see moisture condense inside the dome. This is great for starting out, as the heat and moisture is trapped in. However, once seedlings start to appear, you MUST remove the dome to prevent "damping off" a fungal disease that will kill the seedlings. Add water as necessary to keep the soil moist, but not wet. Once the seedlings are up, they must have very bright, though not direct light. I'm using the windowsill and from outdoor it looks quit funny.
My little seedlings are looking happy and they are growing day after day.
The problem is I have still a lots of seeds to sow. On internet I found the most beautiful and interesting seeds. That made that I couldn't resist the temptation to buy.
Could you?
