I'm going to start 2 more threads: Natives and ornamentals. It's hard to separate them, Nancy and I are trying to replace things with natives. But there are things I love that aren't native, so I will plant ornamentals, just hopefully not invasive aliens. My spreadsheet includes North America and Mexico for natives. Maybe someday I'll narrow it down more.

Zinnias are native to Mexico. I have plenty of those seeds too.
Yeah, there's too many here.
Some will grow in pots. Some I may rethink because I know they're big. We're supposed to have a chicken again run this year, so maybe the tall ones can be planted against the fence.
