I think you may have slugs. You can find out for sure if you take a flashlight out after dark and look at your plants. You can use Safers Slug and Snail bait. It is made with Iron Phosphate and is approved for Organic farmers. It won't harm birds or pets. Some have had success with beer, but it never worked for me. Going Organic doesn't mean you have to let the bugs eat your plants even if they are your vegetables. There are things and recipes you can use. All you have to do is find out what's causing the damage and look up what to do about it.

Well I'm pretty sure that it's not deer because I don't see how a deer could eat the leafs and leave the little stem running up the middle of each one and as for rabbits I'm thinking that some of the leafs that have been eaten are too high for them to reach and I also don't think that they would leave that little stem either. I was thinking that maybe it was earwigs because I had so marigolds that they mowed over last year and there was no evidence of any kind because I've been told that they only come out at night but I try to garden organic and he doesn't so I figured that the poison that he's using would probably kill earwigs. Plus I'm not sure if they would eat that much of a rose bush in that short of time or not?

I was going to mention the 'orange dog' caterpillars, but Larry beat me to the punch! I'd surely be on the lookout for them, as well as slugs and snails. Don't forget that they hatch from very small eggs, so are teensy for a few days and often overlooked. But you can't miss that beautiful Giant Swallowtail Butterfly! I also want to second Patty's suggestion of the Sluggo (or other iron phosphate snail and slug bait. If the gastropod population is out of control in your vicinity, it might be necessary to employ the copper tape (I've used copper window screen, too) AND apply some of the bait. Guess where I found slug nurseries? At the end of the season, I dumped several containers of summer annuals out and found (to my horror) that slugs had entered the pots THROUGH THE DRAINAGE HOLE and had a major love fest in there. After that, I began to use copper screen to cover the drainage holes.

A really good trick I read somewhere (maybe even here) is to plant large cans around each plant. Big apple juice cans worked for me. Plant, then shove the can down about half way arond the plant. I also use tons of eggshells all around too. It also helped when we were still getting frost warnings, none of my plants bit the dust. So far, mine are doing great, keeps the slugs away. If they're still getting eaten up, you could try sticky tape arond the cans to catch the invaders. I guess you would have to change the tape every once in a while (gross!!!), but it works on the crawly guys. Now for the flying ones.....
