Hey Everyone,
I'm new to the gardening gig and I am loving it! I live downtown and have a garden, which is very rare. Unfortunately, I just discovered that under my dianthus plants, there are these white circular pods. At first I thought they were part of the soil and some sort of plant food, but when I searched under each dianthus and found them, I got very worried! They aren't under any other plant. What could they be? Please help. I've put a lot of time and effort into my garden and I would hate for it to be ruined because of something I could have prevented!
Thanks in advance for all your help!

They are soft. I actually pulled a couple out and squished them on the ground and all this white stuff squirted out....gross! I'm not at home for the next few days but as soon as I get home, I will post a picture!

Helping the world one seed at a time When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee
