My profile picture shows Japanese clover surrounded by dead leaves, and my header picture shows a few flowering carnivorous plants and a few mostly-empty plant containers with mulch from earlier this year, 2023.

My garden has a lot of plants who have been thirsty for too long, but some plants, like the native plants, vetch, and some crops here and there, especially in partial shade, look alright. I collected my wando pea seed pods, (pictured) and I mulched the one "big" corn plant I have. (almost a foot tall with big arches) I used some crumpled leaves, some hair! and some coffee grounds that I put out in a mulch pile last week. #gardening #seedSaving
I took some other pictures with different-colored bean skins still on the sprouts, but they were blurry. I should have checked and changed the focus, but I was in a hurry.

They are tiny
The yellow flowers are small too

The sickle made quick work again, pulling up the grass roots in a less destructive way. This loosened some of the soil, so I could push some of the big seeds into the ground up to their tops to help me keep the seeds spread out. I spaced out small seeds better, too.
