What's eating my leaves?

All of them except tomatoes, first garden ever and I am learning! THANKS
Any ideas for natural sprays to use?

Looks like flea beetles to me. You can try and grow ornamental plants to deter flea beetles, and to help prevent migration from plant to plant. Another option is to grow plants that the flea beetles like even more than what your growing now. I don't know what your garden consists of, but I would try maybe growing some Giant Mustard and Radishes for example.
