I have a flowerbed here that this year I planted some self-reseeding
(annual) native flowers.
I assume that getting the leafblower in there will just scatter the
seeds into the lawn; so probably the best course of action is just
raking the leaves out? Or is there a better approach I should be
taking, in order to keep the beds looking relatively neat until next
year's flowers start springing up.

I rake a good layer of leaves onto those beds as mulch.

Yes and right about now if dry, crumble them up and drop back in. Nature's mulch. BTW, depends on growth zone. May have butterfly
cocoons still in some areas.
Hi, I
m Carol, rare new person to a group. Awesome amount of spam to
'bozo bin'.
I have about 30 "people" on my plonk list for this group.
No wonder! I'm going to move it now to my regular prossessing site.
They share the same bozobin so that will carry over. Header will
change to cshenk then. (first initial and truncated last name). I'll
ask songbird to come back in. He's the one who recommeded the group.

this group gets so little traffic now that it's rare to
see on topic posts, but if it picks up again i'll reply.
i spend a lot more time reading/writing to the edibles
group instead since that seems to be more of the focus of my gardening
these days.

Of the clearly human posts on it, this newsgroup is the one with the
thinnest rubbish horizon compared to the rest of the soil profile of
Usenet.
I don't really post much in anything rec.gardens only because I don't
know what I would post about with the ground still covered in many
decimeters of snow.
