My plant has some yellowing leaves with crispy edges and a few small holes — looks like bug damage. I also noticed a little chewing on the flowers, but not much. No fruit yet.

It doesn’t look too bad, but I’m not sure what to do. I’d rather not spray if I don’t have to. Just wondering — should I spray something, or leave it alone?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Honestly, if it’s just a few holes, I’d wait and see.

Look for caterpillars, probably on new tender leafs. I’d also observe before spraying, but the holes show something has eaten them. If worms are not abundant, pick them off and discard. Consider neem oil. Good luck.
