You don't need to fear moss, in itself it is not harmful. HOWEVER, it indicates that your soil needs better air and water drainage.
If your soil is not draining, then the roots of your plants may suffocate (over 90% of the oxygen intake of a plant is THROUGH ITS ROOTS!)
You could add perlite or sand to your soil to increase air and water drainage, or you could loosen the soil surface (carefully) with a garden fork.
Hope this helps. :-)

Many gardeners would be envious of you to have moss between their plants. It is attractive, keeps the weeds from growing and keeps the soil moist.

Well; there is moss killer - but personally not keen on that.
You could also just try digging it out and then covering over the gaps with mulch of some description to stop it growing back.

Use iron, iron kills moss and does not affect your plants. Ortho and Scotts makes a product for just such an event.

Um, moss is cool. It is also part of nature, which you garden-types should be okay with. Leave it alone, enjoy it.
