Is it on the leaf edges or more internal ?? Slugs ?? Caterpillars already on plants before netted ?? Mice ?? hedgehogs or pideons/pheasants??

More the outside of the leaves but whatever it is they are eating most of the leaves  ??? Havent seen any trace of slugs but might be a catipiller in there somewhere  :blink:

Check all the leaves for caterpillars. The first year I covered mine with mesh but the transplants must have already had eggs on 'cos a few weeks later...there they were munching away under the netting when I had a look :(

Or slugs as already said........
