White stuff on the snap bean leaves
 

My wife would like to know what ails
her snap beans. The tops of the leaves
look like some graffiti artist cleaned
out the nozzle of his white spray can
in the vicinity.

shows her row of seven pots.
http://cpacker.org/a2.jpg
is a close-up of a couple of the
worst-affected leaves.

I tried to do a Web search on this,
but wasn't able even to begin zeroing
in on anything relevant.

My first guess is spider mites. Look for tiny insects on the back of
the leaves.

Looks like spider mite damage to me, too.

Been hot and dry where you are?
