Hi all, newbie here so I would be grateful if you could point me in the direction of another thread where this has been covered.

Garden in coastal Northern California; something is eating leaves of radishes, cabbage, broccoli, potatoes, nasturtiums, and lettuce. I haven’t observed any bugs or flies. Please help!! Thank you so much.

If you will look on the underside of the leaves you should see a very tiny little green caterpillar. Its name is Cabbage Looper. Get a product that has the active ingredient Bt (Bacillus Thuringensis). There are many brands and the one sold locally here is by Monterey called Bt Worm Killer. Bonide makes the same thing called Thuricide and there are many others. Just spray this stuff as per directions and tomorrow you will be caterpillar free.
