Helen it looks like the pics of cloudy spot - I didn't think I saw that many stink bugs this summer. They sure have done the damage. Thanks to all of you again.

Yes Bonnie I think it is the stink bugs! The pics look just like the damage they cause. I checked some new plants and they were covered and they are everywhere. We built on undeveloped ground and it is wild everywhere, garden is on new ground and close to timber. I read that weeds cause them to be worse, I am thinking maybe we need to trim the timber back farther from the garden. Thanks for asking. ozark jean

I think they are worse this year than usual. You can not catch them. They drop like blister beettles but are harder to catch. Someone somewhere suggested a dustbuster; I haven't tried that.
