I have a zucchini in a 5 g bucket. Was doing well, and then we got bombarded with leafhoppers. Yay. This was a plant bought at Home Depot I think. It was doing fine, actually have 2 zucchinis growing on it, but all of a sudden the leaves are turning yellow and browning. I'm working on getting rid of the leaf hoppers...very hard to do. Got some neem oil, got insecticidal soap. They won't go away. I know yellowing of leaves can be several different problems, but I'm so new to this that it's all just confusing me!
Here are some pics of the leaves.
And on another note I found these things in the soil of an empty planter. Look like fish eggs. I think they are insect egg sacks or something. I'm guessing that they might be bad. How do I get rid of them? Or should I?
