Something is eating my plants?

Spiders ! LOL

But spider mites are a possibility, although not related to Spiders

More likely to be aphids.

From your description, if they look little white tufts of cotton, then it will be Mealybugs.

Not sure if you've gotten to the bottom of this issue or not. But as I thought about it for a minute this morning, I thought it might be worth getting a batch of ladybugs and putting them in your garden. I'm told they can do wonders for certain insect problems (including aphids, mites, and mealybugs)

The key is when you get them, to cool them down a bit so that they're slow moving. Then, put them in your garden toward the end of the day, so they're likely to stay put.

Let us know what you find out k? hang in there!

I also have something devouring my pole beans, they were growing great guns and I went to water them today, the leaves are only half there, I will give them a spray with lemon juice and hope for the best.
