Tomotillo leaves

[Gacs23]

Our tomotillo plants all are suffering from holes in leaves and discoloration.(see pics) any advice?

Hello @Gacs23 Welcome to the forums. It looks like you have some leaf miners on those leaves. Not a very big problem, and they won't do a lot of damage, just look a bit unsightly. If they were on my plants I'd leave them alone.

The tracks look like leaf miner damage.

I have grown tomatillos and agree with my colleagues above. It doesn't look too bad, and I would remove and destroy any leaf like the one in the first picture. Remove from the garden and do not place in the compost pile. Spinosad is a good organic treatment, but it doesn't look that bad to me...but I would remove a bad looking leaf cause it very likely has eggs on the back side.

By the way, many locations are now looking at the end of tomatillos for this season. They do not tolerate temps below 55 deg f well.

Thank you everyone for the advice.
