Something is eating my basil leaves
The last two days I've noticed big chomps out of the leaves on one of my basil plants. I've checked under the leaves for culprits but only found a small gray jumping spider. This morning half of one of the leaves was gone and another had some damage (holes in the middle). I don't see little bite marks--it looks like sometihng cut the leaf, almost. Any ideas as to what it could be? I'd post a photo but didn't have a chance to take one this morning.

[url=https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=207406]Here's[/url] an earlier thread about slug damage on basil plants *with* photos. See if the damage resembles that in your garden. If so, you know the enemy, and there is an absolute BOATLOAD of information on this site about dealing with said enemy.
