vegetable plants- with fluid filled balls in soil????


Question
I planted tomato, bell pepper and basil seeds for the 1st time this year.  They are
now young healthy plants.  I have one question/concern-there are small
transparent white fluid filled balls in the soil of each type.  I popped one and
fluid squirted out.  Are these normal? seeds? parasites? is there something that
should be done about them?  -The ATL gardening newbie

Answer
Tristina:

These balls sound to me like the growth of bacteria that is soil born. I recommend that you destroy as many as you can before they cause damage to your plants.

Take one of the balls to your local nursery and ask for help in identifying and destroying.

Please let me what your results are.

Best wishes and happy growing.
