| Looks more like mechanical damage. Perhaps you had hail some time ago? In any event, nothing is currently active. You know that because the edges of the damage are brown & dry. |
|
| No, no hail here - I purchased it from a produce stand about an 1 hr away, perhaps they had some hail? Should I cut the damaged leaves or leave them on? Thanks for your help - I am new to this and trying to learn! :) |

| I agree it looks like physical damage rather than a pest. Leave the leaves on. They are still green and still doing their job. What is causing the water marks? Are you watering overhead? |
|
| My 4 year old sprayed it with the hose the other day. He was trying to help, lol. I use a spray bottle to water. |
