Not sure what you are referring to, they look very healthy to me.

Those little crooked white lines are from leaf miners. They are unsightly but don't do much harm unless SEVERELY affected. Once they are there about the only thing that will get rid of them is spinosad and even that will take numerous applications. Usually they don't do enough damage to worry about.

Like @Chuck said those are miner leafs and the only real time you can get rid of them is when the fall to the ground and pupate. Just turning the earth in autumn or winter will force them deeper into the ground and not allow them to emerge.
