Thanks for the advice folks, next time I come across the eggs I'll
throw them away. As for the oxalis..... any ideas how best to get rid
of it apart from digging up by their stubborn little roots?

Only glyphosate or paraquat work. Every minute little piece you leave
behind when weeding mechanically will thrive just to annoy you next season.
