It could be anything from slugs to deer - can you post us some pictures of the damage please, and tell us a bit more about your garden and the plants you're growing

I have a terraced house back garden so no deers (unless there climbing deers). The actually veg plot is 6m x 1m. We haven't really seen any slugs this year, however we do a snails, theres evidence of catapillers because ive seen them but not much evidence of butterflies. hope this helps
I think this is slug and snail damage. I'd make some beer traps for the slugs
There's some good information here http://www.instructables.com/id/Slug-Trap-from-Recycled-Water-Bottles/
Good luck
