hmm picture is kinda blurry but doesnt look like a major problem but for next year mix up some neem oil and dish soap spry for a all natural organic pesticide and insectide that you can spray every other week to avoid just about all bug problems

not spider mites

i say slugs, i had some slugs this year and they can do a pretty good amount of damage

sprinkling diatamecious earth around your plants will help control slugs

also put out a bowl full of beer, the slugs are atracted to the beer and will drown in it

SLUGS! lol ive been dealing with them cocksuckers for years, best way I find is to apply slug bait to surrounding area of the plants, and re apply every 2-4 weeks.
