i am growing some plants by seed as well. Never had the greatest luck in the past. i was gifted quite a few seed packets. One of them is mexican sunflower. Maybe this will be THE year😁
Perhaps some plants on your list will come to you naturally. Last year a blue lobelia plant came out of NOWHERE in the back of my yard🤩- i didn't plant it! Unfortunately i have to move it because it's in a really bad spot. Thanks birds🙃
good luck with your seed endeavors.
