Snow in the Backyard?

Sometimes I have these BRILLIANT plans that turn out to be not so brilliant...

We looked out at the weed patch (a little square under the porch and near our door that doesn't get enough sun for much except a few odd weeds) today, and it looked as though there were little clumps of snow all over it. It's getting colder, but it's only October... So I look closely and realized that the weed patch is covered in white mold. Yes, mold. Yes, gross. And yes, my fault. When I moved in LAST fall, I bought some wheat germ, which I had sprinkled diligently on everything I could think of (It's high in Vitamin D, E, Thiamin (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), B6, Selenium, Zinc, and Pantothenic Acid.) for maybe two weeks, at which point it became part of the Permanent Collection of the Refrigerator Door.

So last week, after a year on display in the Permanent Collection, I replaced the wheat germ with strawberry jam and sprinkled the flakes out in the weed patch to break down so I could recycle the jar, just like I do with old spices. But, sadly, I didn't plan for days and days of rain, and even if I had, I thought these nutty brown specks would simply mix in with the dirt. But no. Apparently "nutrient rich" means "makes spore happy." And so the mold. Eww.
