Any ideas about who may be munching on my only decent brassicas? I thought caterpillars, but there are none under the leaves, just new chew holes/marks every morning. Thanks for any help!
This happened to me in late fall, for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what was eating my collards and kale. After the brief freeze, the problem went away so I stopped trying to figure it out. Sorry I can’t help, but I am also looking for the same answer. My poor bearded dragon had to eat already half-eaten leaves!

Hard to say for sure, but if this was happening in my garden it would be snails. They tend to come out at night, maybe try watching for them after dusk?

I spray my brassicas with BT once per week, proactively, throughout the growing season. Otherwise I get a fair amount of looper/caterpillar damage.
