My raised bed and container garden has yellow spotting on a variety of the vegetable leaves. I have seen aphids, whiteflies, cucumber beetles, cabbage moths/green worms, and a couple other beetle type insects. Mostly whiteflies. I water all of the plants from the ground, no overhead watering. I don’t know if this is a fungus or caused from the insects. Looking forward to your answer!
