Snails will climb up and eat leaves, but then you see slime trails. The only other thing which does eat leaves, leaving scalloped edges, are bean weevils. Look carefully at the plants without touching and you might see some long nosed beetles on the plants. If you disturb them they drop off and play dead and are hard to see. As long as the damage is not excessive you can ignore it in well grown plants. Collect up and destroy any you find.
