First a little shmoosing, this is really a nice site! I browsed the forum and even tried the search but didn't find what I was looking for so here's my question.

I recently built a raised be garden in my back yard. I planted tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, cauliflower, lettuce, herbs, radishes & onions. I started to notice that some of the beans I planted from seed were sprouting. Unfortunately as soon as they got a few leaves something started eating holes in the leaves. Now I notice these holes in the cauliflower and radish leaves as well. Yet all of the rest of the vegetables are hole free.

I thought it might be snails since they are pretty plentiful here in southern California but when I put out some snail bait, I didn't find a single shell. I also can't see any bugs on the plants. What the heck is eating my stuff?!?!?

Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks!
