Something (haven't found any critters yet) is eating one of the broccoli plants in my raised bed. The others have what appear to be "nibbles" on the lower leaves, but not nearly to the extent that they like the one. It's been eaten down to the stalk for weeks now. It's still hanging on, so I keep fertilizing it, thinking it'll rebound whenever my mystery pest has had its fill.
Yesterday, I did find some little bright green worms on the other broccoli lettuces planted in that bed. I picked off all I saw (the chickens enjoyed them immensely) and would have sprayed, but lots rain was headed our way, so I figured it'd have been fruitless.
Is this some sort on worm doing this damage? I don't think it's the chickens as there aren't any scratch marks and I'm pretty sure the girls would clean them all rather than repeatedly going after just one.
