There are also about a half a dozen sweet potato plants who are due for harvest any time this month. I don't expect to find much, but I plan to keep adding mulch. Also, I cut the grass away from one.

Additionally, there was a smaller patch of beans, so I cut the grass from around half of them and put nitrogen-fixing cover crop seeds all around them. (vetch and 3 types of clover)

The small native bushes have their yellow X flowers, but I didn't like their picture.

Most of my garden died during the drought of June. There is one garden bed with maybe a dozen bean or buckwheat plants, so today, I took the grass plants out of that bed, raked out the leaves except the ones around the plants, added more leaves around plants as necessary, and dropped about 2 dozen crop seeds and about half a dozen cover crop seeds.

I pulled up all the burnweed/fireweed because they're not a strong native plant, and they were irritating the landlady.

By "gradually", I meant, once or twice a week, some weeks, 3 times. So many seeds, didn't get outside. Changed my outline process after a few lines. Rained a couple times, both with thunder.

I expect to use the scythe again to gently pull up some tall, thin grass plants without much if any soil on roots, but the rain might make that harder; and the drought probably made that easier. It didn't work as well recenty, and I thought it was because there were more plants, closer together.
