I started w/a wood box outline, just 4 pieces of wood made into a rectangle. I filled it with top soil. Planted already started veggies. They are growing well. Last week, I put some plant food on it. The veggies are still looking great and growing at break-neck speed, but there are little green ball like things through-out the garden. Also, there appears to be a thing green sprinkle of dirt-like stuff here and there. What is this and is it safe for my garden?

No problem dont worry. what you have is the plant food. Its made to dissolve at different rates, so what you see is food for your plants that willsoak in over time.Im sure on the package it said something like " feeds for 3 months" or something like that. The little spinkle of dirt like thing may be ants, get some diazane at any store will controll all pests.

The phrase 'mostly empty' doesn't, in all honesty, do it justice; so let me help you out there with some imagination on *just* how empty the universe is, and *just* how hostile the universe is: - The 'habitable' proportion of the universe (ie, where we can live) is just 1 x 10^-65 of the universe; that's 1 divided by 10 followed by 64 zeros - a number so small that we don't have a name for it! - The average density of matter throughout all but a minute proportion of the universe is equivalent to that of 6 specks of dust in an otherwise empty Grand Central Station! - Even the 'habitable'' proportion is mostly empty space, in that if an atom's nucleus were to be increased to the size of the Sun then the innermost electron shell would be at a distance 4 times further away than Pluto, with nothing between it and the nucleus! - On the Earth itself, there are several billion species of life, all but a few hundred of which would kill us either quickly or slowly! - And in the overwhelming majority of the Universe, we would either burn, freeze, suffocate or explode within 5 seconds of exposure! So, a 'loving god' made this place for us, and the 'evidence for god' is in his creation and all around us!? If that's the best evidence, then he is either careless, hates us, or plain doesn't exist!

is it weeds or lichens or fungi?
Could it be the residue from your fertilizer... even miracle grow can leave a color on the ground if it wasnt mixed properly.
I would say either pull and pluck it all out, or turn it under with a garden fork.
