it looks like caterpillar damage, but surely this is too early and too cold? It has been cool and dry here, so not many slugs to be seen, and I have scattered pellets.
I had no caterpillar spray, so used a greenfly spray but the damage continued, have used a fruit & veg bug spray today that is supposed to kill caterpillars and most other pests.
It is certainly not a small insect as great patches of the leaves get eaten in a single night.
I grew the plants from seed last year so quite small and may not withstand attack.
