I figured out the culprit eating my garden. It is a brown shinny beetle. I can take a picture, maybe tomorrow.
Also, it is now turning brown. It has been really rainy and hot here, could that be the reason. It will rain for ano hour or so, then the sun comes out. I am thinking that this is causing the leaves to scorch...... I could be wrong though. This is my first garden. I just need some help with making my garden pretty again. I will love you all forever if you could help me out with this, and give me some good suggestions. And NO we aren't using pesticides!!!!

James said even if I wanted to, it is completely forbidden on our plants......
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!!!!!!
