Hardens Hollow :" I have some critters that LOVE my Swiss chard. It is growing well, but the big beautiful leaves are pockmarked with holes (#1 problem).
And my bean plants have reddish bugs hanging out on them, making webs of many of the leaves (#2 problem). "

Problem #1 sounds like 'flea beetles', or 'leaf hoppers'
Problem #2 sounds like spider mites.
Go to Bing images to see if you can identify the bugs and/or by the damage.
I have heard of others using 'Neem oil' for bug control but I have no personal knowldge from using it.

Thanks for responding. I don’t always get a chance to check for questions, and sometimes leave out things due to forgetfulness, so I appreciate all you do to help with explanations.
