If you have seeds but you have no property (slrpnk.net)

What are some general considerations for where seeds would like to be around the neighborhood, around town? And is it generally best to wait for rain?

This is a long shot, but I made friends with my neighbor, who owned a house with a yard, and he was very much in favor of turning the (mostly dirt) lawn into a garden. We've acquired a lot of soil and cinderblocks on our local Everything is Free page, which we plan to use for a terraced little garden of native flowering plants. We got a bit delayed by life stuff and because I was waiting to see if someone would offer up a pile of pavers (as soon as I buy some I just know someone will) but we'll get back to it soon. We've got a peach tree to plant and I'm researching to see if I can find a used solar panel somewhere to drive a small water feature.
