What’s doing this to the leaves of my plants in my raised bed?
Pictures are of tomato and green pepper plant, but most plants in the bed have the same sort of damage. Looks almost like an insect eating a trail on the leaves, but I’m not sure.

Leaf miners. Remove the first leaf or massage the leaves(less probability – may not kill them)

Feel along the leaf and you will find the larvae within, crush it. Remove the leaf if bad.

Leaf Miners! I had the same issue last month I used a combination of Spinosad and a concoction of mashed chili peppers, garlic, water, and a cap full of olive oil.
Make sure you get rid of the leaves!

Leaf miners generally do not cause enough damage to leaves to warrant doing anything. They are more of a cosmetic damage pest than anything.

Leaf miners. Remove any infected leaves and/or use neem oil.

I ignore. I’ve never seen them do so much damage that the plant can’t produce.
