I've been growing for a long time now and this is new to me. I've never seen anything like this before. I thought it was slugs and/or snails and it's not.
Leaf miners leave long twisted paths, they never burrow in circles like that. I agree @Oldchucky looks like the beginning of a septoria issue.Septoria?
Slugs and snails will both methodically eat at an leaf edge inward. Sometimes they will leave holes, but more often that not, they will start on exposed edges. if you do ever have to deal with slugs, get some 2in thick copper foil, wrap it around the base stalk of your plants, slugs and snails cannot cross that rubicon. There is a compound in their slime that reacts with copper, it zaps them and they fall, or turn away, just a little something I picked up battling those little shits. For future reference.I've been growing for a long time now and this is new to me. I've never seen anything like this before. I thought it was slugs and/or snails and it's not.
TY very much for this info. The large amounts of rain this year has caused all kinds of stuff for farmers this year. We will prevail.Slugs and snails will both methodically eat at an leaf edge inward.

It’s been pandemonium for a lot of y’all outdoor farmers this year. Everything has been cattywompus. My outdoor garden basically turned into burnt matchsticks. So I feel you buddy. Heavy rains bring those little shits out in force. Well, best of luck, there are a multitude of treatment options for the septoria. Mainly pruning, and getting air to that root zone. There are foliar a as well, but I stay away from those personally, @Oldchucky is a kook when it comes to outdoor, I know he will most likely have the best options for you treatment wise, or he will tell you to burn it all down hahahahaTY very much for this info.

I only have a couple weeks until harvest so cleaning and pruning the affected areas trying to stretch it.I was also told spraying a baking soda mixture would slow it down. Some of my plants don't seem to be affected by it. Playing everything by sight now. Happy growing.It’s been pandemonium for a lot of y’all outdoor farmers this year. Everything has been cattywompus.
