We are new to Dave's Garden, and new to gardening in general. We live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and are growing a New Zealand spinach. I have heard this type of spinach grows well in the Florida summer heat. The spinach is in a container box on our porch, but some little critters are having a feast out of my spinach! What is this? worm? snail? and what can I do to prevent them from coming back? Obviously, I need to cut off all of my leafs and start over. Thanks for your help!

Looks like slug damage.
