Beetroot leaves

Evening all,

over the last few weeks we’ve noticed our beetroot leaves have some white marking, some are worse affected than others as you can see from the photos.

Any ideas on what it could be, is it something I need to worry about, if so any possible remedies would be appreciated.

they were direct sown on the last week of March.

    Leaf miners.  I just pinch the leaves over the spot to squish them.. or pick off badly infected leaves.

    Agree, beet leaf miners - I did exactly the same as @Blue Onion when I noticed the same a week or so ago.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
