Do you have some mulch under your veggies?

Water from the bottom

Looks like you've got some aphids. You can spray with soap & water to deter them. Ladybugs released will help the aphid population decrease as well.

Thank you so much...Umm the soil mixture is clay way down, then sandy soil, then top soil mixed with organic vegetable soil and some black Kow,...
I do most of the watering by the soil...the sprinkler hits it a few times a week....but here in FL...they need lots of watering...I went outside and couldn't find any aphids...I sprayed anyways using a mixture of soap and water. We recently had a really bad storm so the dirt/sand is all over the leaves....still trying to get it off:)

Keep the advice coming!
