I am definately a newbe. I've gardened off and on most of my life, but this past spring we built a green house. I have been loving most everything and learning so much. However there is something now eating EVERYTHING! And I can not even see it. It started with my green beans. The leaves started to wilt and I noticed a tiny spider-web like netting in the crook of the leaves. Thinking it was aphids I misted leaves top and underside with mild soap and water. I've now dug up my green beans and pepper plants trying to get rid of this. It is now eating my cucumber leaves. HELP If anyone has ideas or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Welcome, 42224. The little webs sound a lot like spider mites. But if the soap solution did not work you can try some Neem oil. It is organic and works.
