Can someone identify this?

Greetings,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a small garden going here (tampa, Florida) in my back yard. It is an 8x16 raised bed with topsoil, compost, etc for the fill

Everything has been going well until a couple days ago I noticed a couple things I can't identify..

Any help is appreciated

First is on a small okra plant. Looks like something is within the leaf eating it. cannot find any insect on it

Second is on a string of my beans. Not sure whether this is insect or disease/fungus related

Thanks in advance

Leaf in first pic has leafminer. Remove it from the plant and destroy it. Remove any additional leaves you find that have those little wandering trails in them.

Leaf in second pic looks like it might have a bacterial disease, but I'm not certain of that. Wait until more people respond. I'm getting ready for an appointment, and don't have time to do any research at the moment. I will when I get home, if no one else has ID'd the disease for you. :)
