I will commiserate because starting to see leaf trouble on some of my plants which are still in beer cups on account of the bad weather now two weeks overdue for transplant.

I don't know if it is insects, physiological, cold stress or nutrient deficiency. But yellow and orange fruited varieties always seem to be the first.
So I just wanted to comment, that specific varieties can be more susceptible to any or all of the above causes.

I am going with the precautionary principle and removing leaves or parts of leaves affected, in case it is a tiny pest issue that could spread.
Fact is, those dead bits are not functional for the plant anyway, so removing it can only be a plus.
