Looks like a paper punch hole. Also getting them in green leaves of flowering plants and tomatoes. I don't see any crawling bugs, but I suspect Daddy long legs spiders....only crawling things I see a lot of in the garden. Cure ?

I don't think it's spiders, they are carnivors. It's probably a beetle, they have been massive this year. Try using neem oil.
It really is hard to tell, try sprinking cayanne pepper around
Hello Yukon, I agree with Lyanne3, I don't think spiders. It sounds like some other kind of bug. (maybe slugs or beetles) I recommend using peppermint oil. A few drops around your plants should fix the problem. You can purchase it at Wal Mart in the candle aisle. It's inexpensive and effective. Good luck.
