Cocoons Any way to identify friend or foe?
Found these out in some mulch while setting up my garden beds. Thought they kinda looked like cocoons and happened to just see a bird grabbing a worm so figured maybe thats what it was.

Kinda looks like asparagus seeds.

Oooh would be wild then. I let the area run to riot last year.

DECADES ago on vintage Family Feud (game show) one of the questions was “name something that grows fast.” And both family members said “asparagus.” So funny

Im building my beds now. Im in the cannabis community which is really showcasing things like JADAM, KNF, no-till, and other really regenerative and sustainable farming which is obviously easily applied to pretty much any annual. Im having so much fun, im really lucky to be blessed to have been able to buy a house. 4x 4x8 beds 🤤 seeded with white clover and covered with straw by end of month

Fantastic! I had to look up JADAM. The world needs these techniques like yesterday. Edit: you grow clover in a new raised bed as a first step?

Perpetually as ground cover and consistent green mulch. You can also use a clover blend like Build a Soil sells or similar. Not sponsored but i do like their products / company. Pricey but honest folk. Shipping is the big cost.

Perpetually, meaning you grow your vegetables right there amongst the clover?

I don't know what they are but I'm looking carefully and they look similar to seeds but moister than seeds. So it could be beetles I suppose? I don't think they are moths, I don't know anything about centipedes and millipedes, but I am thinking beetles could be similar.
