Question

Hey guys quick question, I really dont think its bugs as no of the other plants are like this and I can't see any around or under the leaves. Maybe a deficiency of some sort.

We cant see a question or a plant ? Fix that part and we will help.

Heres the pictures

Hello:
Bugs for sure. Most bugs don't eat weed. I have a few that have that type of damage. Keep an eye on them for additional damage and to spot the culprit. I used to worry about rabbits, mice, gophers, and such but have never had any problems. I raise goats and they will not eat it. Pigs will and enjoy shade leaves and stems.

I just lost 5 plants to mice, it was Saturday night though and I reckon they wanted To get mashed...
Got a Hare in that decided to make my garden his home; for some reason I’ve seen him quite a few times near my plants, but he hasn’t touched them so far

Ive seen that kind of damage from grasshoppers, caterpillars, and earwigs. Check on the ladies after dark and you'll usually find the culprit

Will do; started by making a ring of sawdust and ash around the new plants now, done the trick so far...

There is also a product called tanglefoot. Super sticky, gooey stuff that you put on main stem near the base of the plant It stops the creepy crawlers from getting up to the foliage.

Looks like grasshoppers to me. Tough keeping them off. Neem will help some, but not stop it. If you are not opposed to using poison, spray the weeds and bushes around your plants with a regular garden insecticide. Do Not Spray Your Plants With
Poison.

Maybe you could use some type of screen to cover over & around the plant..set a couple sticky traps, not on or in the plant... but around it... catch something then maybe you can identify the culprit
