Finally an interesting find for a change.
I was over at the local H-Mart, and, to kill time decided to do what I haven't done in a while and check the herb section to see if there was anything interesting in the bags of senna seeds they had (I've basically given up on the actual beans, they no longer seem to have ANYTHING to look for.)
In one bag, I saw a grain of broom corn. I was going to put it back and call it a day (broom corn isn't good enough to justify purchase, when I saw a dark seed with a white slash, and realized that bag also had a wild (or nearly wild) mung bean. So into the cart, through the checkout, and home to the sorting tray.
To cut a long story short I wound up with three to four of those mung beans (there's one I'm unsure if it's a flat one or something else) a few broom corn seeds, and one of something in the bindweed family (which ,given it is shiny and wedge shaped, could be something like Japanese Morning Glory and worth planting to find out.) I guess I'll have to go back to checking there when I go (for financial reasons, I now only buy a bag if I can SEE something in there I want, so buying the stuff out isn't on the table.)
