The damage on the first leaf looks like classic red spider mite damage, look for any kind of webbing around the tips and fringes of the leaves. But growing outside you get lots of bug damage on leaves, some worse then others. Even with plants right next to each other. Use a magnifying glass to view the underside and edges of leaves

So picked a couple leaves and checked them out, don’t see any major infestation but might be a few mites

Think I’m gonna start out with a plain water shower for a few days and see if I can wash them off before I use and chemicals

Go ahead, wash and pick off as many as you can.. I would start with Safer insecticidal soap or a mix of Neem oil and dawn dish soap.. Spinosad is another product I use but I hate to recommend it for outdoor plants.. It's a broad spectrum and kills bees..

Wow, thanx for that info, I was under the impression it was a bee safe product, narrow spectrum not broad. Many thanx

gave them a good bath and scrubbed the bottoms of leaves today, I’ll probably do the same again tomorrow. Only seems like they are on one strain of plants that I have 4 of
