Can someone help, please? I'm in Oregon, and all of a sudden, all of
my tomato plants and my bean plants have the same problem - the leaves
look like something is eating them - they have lacey kind of holes in
them, more on the bottom of the plant than the top. Advice would be
greatly appreciated.

My first suggestion would be to release some ladybugs. They are
inexpensive compared to the cost of other things, and they love their
work. This past week when the praying mantis eggs hatched, I had to go to
a neighbors for aphids and even there, they were difficult to find. Since
I've been releasing ladybugs, everyone's yards in our neighborhood are
more pest-free.

Just north of you in southwest Washington.
