I have tiny, perhaps white egg like patches on a couple plants in a similar garden area. Also,in each picture is a very tiny creature that has legs. I am not sure if these are related issues. Hopefully someone can identify these.

Your little creature is an aphid which are a very common visitor to have. I'm not sure what your white webbing is from, but a little Dawn dishsoap mixed with water will take care of them both. Only spray in the low light of shade, dawn or dusk so that you don't sunburn your plant.

I can't see a thing except that you have the same grow bags I do. You get them cheap through the link here a couple seasons back? I wish I had bought more.

Thanks all. Nothing really to worry about. I don't think the white patch is eggs.

I can always count on MissS being helpful.

JRinPA,

Yes, I saw these listed on TJ a year or two ago. I am pretty sure they are the one in the link. They are still rather inexpensive and available in 5,10+15 gallons.

Edit - My link doesn't appear to be proceeding from Preview to the Submit stage. Thus I will add they are TOMVYTER 10 packs on Amazon.
