Wow.. first time I came in here! Hello everyone! This is a cool thread.. Lots of reading.. So many new faces to me? LOL

About the pics? First thing I think of with yellow leaves is spider mites.. Spider mites thrive and appear out of nowhere in hot and dry condtions.. Get the big guns out.. LOL

The other pic? Slugs from the bottom, cats from the top. Slug damage is usually just a hole.. cat damage is usually a devoured leaf.. Soapy water won't kill cats, (around here anway).. just makes em shiny and clean... I use Fruit Tree Spray.. If you don't' have a huge jungle, and you can spray the entire plant top and bottom.. it will control anything, including spider mites.

Lot's of people use BT for cats, but I didn't like it.

I use epsom salt once in a while.. My scientific measurement is a hadfull to a 2 gal watering can. :)
