Seeding the Vegetable Garden

I am no longer allowed to buy plants. Tom says it’s like throwing away money since they always die. So the large vegetable garden was a waste of backyard space in a prime sunny location. 
We (I) decided it would be great to have a patio there to expand our useable space. Then I saw the price of stones plus gravel plus all the digging required and scraped that idea. Instead, I bought a bag of grass seed, dug up the remaining plants and seeded the area. It’s not come up quite as nicely as I imagined, I think another round of seed is required. 
And now we know: this grass seed thing seems like a loosing battle; you lay a ton, birds eat like half of it, then only half of the remaining half actually grows.
