That's definitely not a grape. With all that new growth, it's a bush of some sort, but not a grape. Do you have a county extention service nearby that could help you identify it. It looks wild. Maybe even a bean of some sort. You probably have cabbage loopers on your broccoli. Look for little green caterpillars. Have you had any small white moths or butterflies flying around lately? Here's a link to insects and their treatment. http://vegipm.tamu.edu/imageindex.html

Rodney, if there are chunks eaten out of the leaves, perhaps grasshoppers. If the leaves are turning yellow, flip a leaf over and check the underside of the leaf for little tiny dots and webbing. This is spider mites. Palms are magnets for them. Spray with Kelthane every few days, as it is very difficult to get rid of them. Good Luck! Jeanie

Someone on a different forum suggested I go out at night to see if whatever is eating my echinacea leaves is a "night-time" eater and sure enough, I saw something. Can someone tell me what this is and how I get rid of it?

Hi - the 'eggs' & ants are aphids plus ants could be feeding on the aphids' excrement (a.k.a. honeydew) - or on the plant's nectar. Okra has nectaries, I've learned, which are sort of pores on the plants that produce nectar. You can wash aphids & ants off w/ a hose. The aphids can do harm, since their feeding can damage/distort leaves & tissues, but ants by themselves won't harm okra by feeding on the nectar, in fact they may help as pollinators. I do not see ants in your photo, so they may be after the nectar & not the aphids' honeydew. The holes in the okra leaves are definitely done by something else, but they look healed over to me, meaning the damage is old & pests are likely long gone. It could've been perpetrated by caterpillars, grasshoppers or slugs/snails, I think. The 'rule of thumb', BTW, is that plants can lose up to 1/3 of their foliage & still be OK. It is hard to determine if that is upper or lower foliage on the tomatoes. I don't worry too much about damage on lower leaves, since they tend to get scraggly w/ age, but if it's on new growth @ the top, I think that may be cause for concern. I remove dead leaves regularly from my tomato plants.
