No, most of the leaves are fine, showing no defects and the plants are healthy and fruit bearing. I don't fertilize. I've taken a few more photos and annotated them to illustrate how the problem can progress - but it can stop at any point. Sometime the leaf is barely affected, other times the problem is so bad that the affected area becomes burned looking, with the tissue turning black. A peculiarity of the problem is that it is almost always on one side (I mean only the left or only the right side) and at the same distance out on the leaf. Both the top and bottom of the leaf shows the problem. BTW - you aren't by any chance the Loretta formerly of Cinnaminson? If so, hello!
