Gerry, could easily be that your fall mulch is covering your plant
seeds and preventing germination. Esp. of any that fall early.
Mulch won't prevent seeds that fall *on* it from germinating and some
seeds who are really strong will come up through it, but it will
prevent a lot of seeds from germinating...esp. any that require
light.
Re: sites with seedling pix. I was intrigued - definitely something
that's needed on the web for reference - and have spent some time
searching and can't find a one. You get the odd image here and
there, but nothing concentrated.
Next best thing is pix of weed seedlings so you can recognize what
you ought to pull...and I have a couple sites bookmarked that have
those:
