Fungus or insect larvae?
I'm fairly new to gardening and have a question about a recent (4 days ago) flower transplant into some store-bought flower trays. I purchased the flowers from a local nursery and planted them into a bed of Miracle-Gro Garden Soil, nothing else added other than rain water. I'm curious what this stuff is that is upon the top of the soil. The planters are on my front porch which faces west and only receives late afternoon sun.
I live in Eastern North Carolina near the coast. If anyone can identify this, I would greatly appreciate to know what it is and what to do to eliminate the problem. I'm thinking the obvious and safest thing to do would be to pull the plants and discard all traces of the current soil but if these are insect eggs, I think I might be able to salvage the soil and maybe just remove or (even) burn the eggs???
Thanks,
Dave
