    Gotta ask this, where are you?

    It looks like you have leaf miner and possibly a virus.

    To me it would appear that they need water and feeding. Probably a high potash feed. Dont know how easy it is for you to obtain either of these.

    After watering apply a mulch = newspaper cardboard, animal bedding, compost
