gardening help, please

I am also having black spots on the underside of my lemon tree...and also these crazy white bugs that jump and put stuff that looks like cotton on some of my other plants...arrrrrrrrrrrrggggg!!!!

iwiwt, Those are most likely a kind of woolly planthopper. Citrus is a host plant among lots of plants.

We've seen them in the nursery for the last 3 years. Don't seem to do much damage - just unsightly. So you may choose to just wait til they go away. Soap may work on some stages that aren't covered with the "woolly fuzz". Again the Neem oil, or Ultrafine Oil may work to suffocate them if you find they are too many to tolerate. Follow directions carefully and don't use more than it says.
After June or July you probably won't see them anymore.
