What could be eating the leaves on my nasturtiums at night?
You would be surprised at the amount of activity in a garden at night. I'd say slugs or snails (possibly both) are having dinner at your expense. The most popular remedy is to put beer in shallow containers sunk into the ground so that the rims are even with the soil surface. The little devils will crawl in and die happy. Empty the containers every couple of days.
