Hi Mimi,
Thank you for sending the photo. It does indicate caterpillar damage (holes in the leaves)as well as crinkling and curling of the leaves which would indicate there is a sap sucking insect present. This could be thrip or white fly damage. To control the caterpillar, we would recommend using a product called Success Ultra or Nature's Way Dipel. For thrip and white fly control, we would recommend a product called Nature's Way Vege & Herb Spray. Both of these products should be sprayed on a weekly basis.
