What's eating my leaves?
 

My mint, swiss chard and mustard are being devistated! I've checked
morning and early evening and found nothing, but the ;eaves are like
lace - full of holes, worse each morning. I've killed dozens of snails
everytime it rains - could they be the cause? There are small black
granules of what is probably the droppings of the culprit.

Look very, very carefully. I have itsy bitsy little white fuzzy things
eating mine, and giving the same effect as yours. I've sprayed with insect
soap and will let you know the results.

Found 'em - inch worms. Now I know my enemy.
