I think something else snacked a few of the bean leaves. Slug bites are irregularly shaped & those didn't seem to be. Another easy suggestion is to copper tape the tops of the beds. For whatever reason, slugs wont cross copper. They just keep on moving on. I think our culprit is that bag of cedar mulch. I'll move that out of the garden and we should be A-OK!
