Going through the garden over the last month I have spotted a couple of these weird patches of eggs. Most are on the top of one of the upper leaves and easy to spot. I rip the section of leaf off and feed it to the chickens. I am not sure if they even notice when they eat these tiny eggs. Yesterday, I filled over a pumpkin leaf as I was tearing open a section and realized the underside was covered with these things and they had just hatched. Tiny gray insects with short black legs were swarming all over the leaf. The chickens may have enjoyed eating that one. Today, I went through all the plants in the garden trying to look under the leaves for these eggs. I only found one other leaf that was covered on the underside. Mostly, they appear on the leaves and are easy to spot.
