Maybe a slow decent into madness.

“Slow” descent? 
Just kidding, I’m already at the bottom; I’ll catch ya!

Nice collection. Do you currently grow all of that?

90% of the native wildflowers and grasses I am currently growing and many of the other flowers/herbs/garden seeds I have many new ones for this year that I am growing, and many are just collected over the years that I grow on and off.

I have a gallon ziploc bag in the freezer full of seed packets plus a plastic shoebox full.
Problem is. Some are getting old. I just planted six types of cucumber seeds to see if they are still good.
Looking at the jicama in your list. Reminds me. I need to plant the Ahipa seeds I have and hope they are still good after sitting for two years.

The SC Native Plant Society is starting a native seed bank (I'm pretty sure it is a collaboration between several SE states). I am on the board of one of the chapters so I think I will likely help with that. Plus I do a lot of trading with the local botanical garden.

Some seeds store rather well, some don't. You would be surprised. It amazes me what nature can sometimes do. I forgot about some PawPaw seeds in the bottom of my fridge three years. Still all had 100% germination rate.

Must have missed that.
I sometimes add the harvest date to the packet. I do have a field for it in the spreadsheet.. the other field I have is quantity that i have so I keep track of things i need to collect or order more of for the next year. Once you get to a certain point it is good to know what you have..i also store seeds differently so i also have what type of container they are in. Then, on top of that I have a filing cabinet and each category is in its own drawer. So if I need a herb seed i know they should all be in the herb drawer.
