Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Dear Carmen, Without more info, I couldn't be very sure, but it sounds like you could have flea beetles. Do you have lots of little, tiny holes all over the leaves? Do they tend to congregate on the underside of the leaves? <http://images.search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A2KJkesT1SlPGGMAeGOjzbkF;_ylu=X3oDMTBpcGszamw0BHNlYwNmcC1pbWcEc2xrA2ltZw--/SIG=13pr9p7rn/EXP=1328170387/**http%3a/tgcgarden.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/vertical-potatoes-pest-management-and-interplanting-galore/> Image Detail

Hi Jim!

My most difficult problem is "bugs"! They have been ruining certain crops, especially little black bugs (does anyone know what they ARE?... they do not appear to be aphids, but they DO take over very quickly!) that have congregating on greens like chard, kale, and other crops like broccoli... Do you have an organic suggestion for dealing with these, and other, destructive little beasts? Thanks so much for your suggestions!

Carmen in zone 8b (or maybe 9b... from latest research ;-)
