I’ve found these clear eggs at the base of my dill. Now I’ve had this dill for a little while so it’s not water crystals. I also found aphids and a black caterpillar on it.

Are the plants growing in commercial potting mix. If they are, the little round balls look like slow release fertiliser to me.

If it is outside in the garden whether direct sown or in a pot and you haven't seen them there before my geuss would be snail eggs. Google snail eggs and compare the pic to what you have.

Could possible but I didn’t think after 6 months they’d still be there.

Yes, I think they look like snail or slug eggs!
Squish every one!
If you have chooks they should like to eat them.
