The final final native seed list for 2026, for real this time, probably- but not really -January 2026

Yes, I know, a month ago I was all like, 'here's my final planting list'. 

I've been forced to admit to myself that I'm always going to be finding new little seed packets somewhere that I want to try in my yard. There's literally a cart built online with a tiny etsy seller near me who collects local seeds, but it looked like she was adding more, so I'm waiting to see if they actually add more I need. 

Anyhow, occasionally I'll just do one of these posts until we circle around to planting for next year and then I'll clear the list and start over with a blank slate. I'm realizing that there are a lot of native seeds that don't need stratification and seeds that are better planted middle of summer and so on. In other words, toward the end of February I'll do another one of these posts if I've added enough additional seeds to be worthwhile. If I don't add much, then end of March. I imagine I'll have a July update when I buy and plant winter annuals. 

Currently, all of these are either winter sown outside or stratifying in soil whether in the fridge or on heat depending on species. A couple are under grow lights. My only left over seeds right now are a bunch of evening primrose and swamp milkweed I collected- but, I'm going to plant those differently because I have literaly hundreds of those seeds. Also, I already planted a ton of them. Otherwise, this whole list is planted.
