I had one of those but after I'd washed it several times it looked like it said "I'm a Peeper" instead.

I threw it away.

You should have just kept wearing it.

You should have saved it. We could have given it to you know who.

Did my gardening this year cause all these nuisances?

Nah...you're probably just outside alot more and noticing things now.

Here's the bug that I thought was a spider, found several out there today. Also skid mark on one of my peppers. The other ones that had a better example, I brought to work. BTW, what's going on with my rose bush :shrug: it looks very sad. I can't find any aphids on it or japenese beetles or anything :shrug:

Yeah, I think those are lady bugs

You want them in the garden. People pay big money to release them in Veggie gardens every year.

You rose bush looks sick. Remove the dead/yellowed leaves, spent flowers and feed that plant. Miracle Gro works fine. Roses are heavy feeders. Pick up any dead leaves in the soil around the bush and try not to get the leaves wet when you water it.

 

[dems4me]

Those weren't any better. I'll try again some other time... it's orangish red with black. I'm very certain its wheel bugs. Its not 8 legs like a spider that I thought it was, its 6 legs with two antennas.

Do I rip the leaves off entirely or just cut the yellow part off? The rose was a bud yesterday, didn't know it would come out soo bad or I would have cut it with the dead buds I had to cut off yesterday. I feed it every two-four weeks with rose bush feed I bought at a store. Could I be overfeeding?

The "skid marks" on your peppers are one of two things normally: sun scald or tobacco mosaic virus, which is transmitted to plants by thrips or aphids.

The roses looks like they're being eaten by flea beetles. Hard to see but they're very destructive.

To get rid of the insects, I prefer Liquid Rotenone/Pyrethrin. Great broad spectrum non-toxic pesticide that will kill a host of bugs. I usually order it from there but you can also find it in most garden or hardware stores.

Good overview of common pests and diseases in this area.

Nope! I'm thinking Asian Lady Beetles:

What good do these beetles do, if any?

Ladybugs, in general, actively prey on aphids and other soft-bodied insect plant pests. Both adults and immature multi-colored Asian lady beetles kill significant numbers on these plant pests, especially aphids. Additionally, the multi-colored Asian lady beetle aggressively pursues these plant pests that attack trees; more so than our native ladybugs. In

Feed according to the package directions. Your leaves have blackspot. Read the link on how to control.

Its probably sun scald. I have no shade. I thought they liked full sun Also I have on my black eyed susans mixture (fancy kind of black eyed susans not typical)... I have little white things at the base, looks like grits were dumped. Its larvea of some kind and killed one of the flowers. I have a pic, but was hoping a good description was just as good as going through and downloading and resizing

 

[dems4me]

I treated my roses about two weeks ago..they had aphids and thrips. I cut off all of the buds as well. They are budding out again, and I checked the blooms, and I STILL HAVE THRIPS!

I'm going to get insecticidal soap and spray them with that.
